My option in XP to start the firewall is greyed out. I've tried to get in
there through the control panel, and the 'windows firewall' with no luck. Is
there a registry setting that I can turn the firewall on with?
 
Check Event Viewer for errors. Check that 'Windows Firewall/Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS)' service is set to 'Automatic' and try starting
from there.

Start|Run|services.msc

Are you running another firewall?
