>To enable or disable Internet Connection Firewall

that you want to

select one of the

>To disable Internet Connection Firewall, clear the

> Notes
>To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control
Panel, click Network

Connections.
>You must be logged on as a computer administrator to
complete this

>If you clear the Protect my computer and network by
limiting or preventing

firewall on your

intrusions.
>You should not enable Internet Connection Firewall on
virtual private

because ICF will

>ICF cannot be enabled on the private connections of the
Internet Connection
>Sharing host computer.
>Internet Connection Sharing, Internet Connection
Firewall, Discovery and

XP 64-Bit Edition.

taking the time to do that. Blessings...
