Hi,

I have Windows XP Media Centre Edition with SP2.

I'm unable to switch OFF the Windows firewall .

I've kept "OFF" the "Firewall". But it still says that the firewall is "ON".

And it blocks certain websites and even the
Digit DVD and Digit CD --> "Autorun" and it's HTML files.

How to completely disable the firewall in Windows XP SP2.

You can see the pictures below.
