GP Firewall Settings

I am trying to disable the Windows Firewall on my client machines. On the
server (SBS 2003) I have opened Group Policy --> Default Domain Policy
(servername.domain.locla) Policy. I have disabled the Firewall in Comp
Config/Admin Templ/Network/Network Connections/Windows Firewall/Domain
Profile.

I have then gone to an XP SP2 client machine and run gpupdate/force. It says
it updated, but the firewall is still turned on.

Any ideas?
