Hello,about half of my computers here have downloaded SP2 for XP. THey are
all XP Pro systems. I wanted to disable the WIndows firewall but cannot. I
click Start, Run, and type in wscui.cpl and get a message stating that the
file cannot be found. This has happened on each machine that I have tried. I
have Autocad 2004 running on some systems and need to change those default
settings. Everything on my network is already protected via Symantecs
firewall. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The Security Center is disabled, by default, in a domain environment.

Change your firewall setttings via the command line. The following command will disable it.

NETSH FIREWALL SET OPMODE DISABLE

NETSH FIREWALL /? will get you a full list of the command line options. NETSH FIREWALL SET /? will get you the parameters for the SET subcommand.
 
Thank you very much. Turns out that I was mistaken on having SP2 loaded. I
saw the Hotfixes and panicked.
