Default What firewall is switched on?

Hi

I am trying to set up x-lite Voip phone on my daughters computer. I am
tryng to do this over the phone, with her in another country.

I know from installing it on my own computer that if it is installed
with Firewalls operational it will not successfully make a call.

I have disabled Norton from the system tray and "Stopped" it via
Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services.

When I go into Microsoft Security Centre and Switch Windows Firewall
off - Firewall is still on in the main Security Centre Window.

I have also "Stopped" Microsoft Security Centre via Control Panel /
Administrative Tools / Services.

Unfortunately when I then install X-Lite calls still fail (I have
confirmed correct account numbers, Voip provider and password).


How can I (with certainty) check and identify what firewall(s) are
still switched on. Checking "Task Manager" and "Administrative Tools /
Services" is a bit 'hit and miss'.

Thanks Colin

You should definitely NOT run several firewalls at the same time.
Decide on either Norton or the Windows firewall (or another one), and
disable all others.

If you use the Windows firewall, you can quickly get to its
configuration by typing "firewall.cpl" (without quotes) into the Start
- Run box.

If you have a router (a home gateway or such), you may also need to
configure port forwarding on the router.

I have no idea about your X-Lite software, but I hope these general
remarks will still help...
