I recently upgraded to SP2. I noticed that when I go into security, and try
to turn on Firewall, it says that the Internet Connection Firewall is not on
and do I want to turn it on. I say yes and then when I try to turn on the
firewall it says that that group policy may prohibit this and the option is
greyed out and turned off. I have XP home and am the only user/administrator
of this computer. I did to into my LAN area connection properties setting,
went to the advanced tab, went into the Windows Firewall settings and went
into the advance tab for that. Under Network Connection Settings, Local Area
Connection is checked and says that Windows Firewall is enabled for the
connection seletected below. I don't see how this is possible if it is
greyed out and says that its off. How do I get this option back on? I am
running Norton, Microsoft Anti-Beta Spyware and Ad Aware.
