hi, I'm trying to install KazaaLite and it claims that it
cant get out to the server because Windows XP has a
firewall. The help for KL says that I should remove the
firewall on XP. I searched throughout the control panel
on anyway i could change settings for security but i was
unable to find it. Can you please help me with the
removal of the XP firewall.

Yeah. You can turn off the firewall. I love this. You are turning off the
firewall so you can download trojans/viruses by the dozens... Oh well, not
my problem:

However, after that I see you have AOL. You don't have the XP firewall on,
likely, since it is incompatable with AOL. AOL is not letting you use Kazaa
Lite. I dislike AOL, but in this case, they are probably saving you from
yourself.

==========================================
Network Connections>right click your connection>properties> advanced
tab>enable/disable ICF. It's not a smart move run with ICF disabled...all
sorts of nasty things happen. I would disable it only to install software,
(if called for), and then re-enable it to check the software operation. If
KaZaa still acts ,you may be out of luck.
 
Kaza works by creating a server on your desktop. It open
you to ALL the worms and viruses. If you really must have
Internet files sharing you are also going to have to become
a skilled IT security guru.

Servers only work if they are open to accept connections.
That makes you foolish.

Well, if you want to fill up your hard drive with viruses,
Trojans, worms, adware, and spyware:

To enable/disable the built-in firewall, Start > Network
Connections > Right-click the connection > Properties > Advanced >

HOW TO Enable or Disable Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP

BTW, the KaZaALite installation is "lying" to you. WinXP's
built-in firewall doesn't even monitor out-going traffic, so it
certainly isn't preventing KL from contacting anything or anyone. You
do understand, don't you, that the makers of KaZaA/KazaaLite want your
system to be wide open to exploitation for no good or honest reasons?
