Jerry,
Here an MS link which has a nice walk through on how to
enable / disable the Windows XP firewall (with pictures)

This is another guide not as useful:

In "Help and Support" type in firewall. It will give you instructions on how
to enable IFC (internet connection firewall). Instead, I suggest you use a
3rd party firewall as, the IFC only monitors incoming intrusions, not
outgoing. The following link is to ZoneAlarm. You can take the "FREE"
version, I have used it for a number of years with no problems.

That option's available only if you have a pre-release version of
Service Pack 2 installed; most people don't.
