REALLY turning off the firewall

I've temporarily disabled the firewall, as one of my peer-to-peer
applications is complaining about being firewalled and losing connectivity.
This was after I had "allowed" the application, so to speak. So I disable
it entirely and the application still has problems. Is there any way (other
than rolling back to SP1) to have it legitimately turn off the firewall
behavior completely? I want certain applications to have unrestricted
access for both incoming and outgoing, and I can't seem to get it to oblige
me.

Thanks,
James
