R Ramesh Srinivasan, MS-MVP Sep 12, 2008 #3 Mike, Is your computer part of a network? If that's the case, the domain administrator may have configured Windows Firewall using Group Policy which can't be bypassed by a normal user. For standalone Windows XP systems, see article: Windows Firewall options are grayed out: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/resetfwpol.htm
