Hi Dave I was thinking about installing sp2 from online today. I do have cable. I was wondering if I should turn off its firewall because I use zone alarm and have been happy with it. But if they can both run without problems, I guess it would not hurt to leave it on. Does it work like zone alarm asking me if I want programs/etc to go through? christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "David F.

Or were you asking about the Internet Connection Firewall in the original release of XP? Someone already sent info about that. If you are asking about Sp 2, while I have not installed it yet, I have read that as part of the installation process it asks if you want to turn it off. Someone who has installed SP 2 can better help. Not sure why you would want to turn it off. > Dave > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "cristy" <poppy0206@xxxxxxx> > To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2004 3:48 PM > Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: SP2 Firewall question > > > How do you disable the sp2' xp's firewall.
