Fresh install of SBS 2003 standard fully patched including the patch for
SP2 on XP. I have added 8 XP boxes to the domain without a hitch. The last
one is a laptop that was on another domain. I ran the connectcomputer
without any issues.

The problem is that the XP firewall is disabled and I can't get it to
enable. The options are grayed out. All the other PC's in the domain have
their firewalls enabled. I have tried logging in locally with an admin
account but the options are still grayed out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

John
