Disable The Firewall From Computer
Apr 10, 2005
I want to get rid of whatever is causing my computer to act like it's firewalled.I'm currently studying in Japan and have ADSL in the dorms. It seemed to be firewalled, but no one else I asked really knew much about it, so I just kind of accepted it and moved on. But recently one of my friends in Tokyo has gotten a new internet connection, which her computer works perfectly on and gets amazing speed. But when I connect, it still seems I am firewalled. Using PC Flank's scanner pcflank.com all my ports are stealthed while hers are closed.

I need to disable or turn off the windows firewall (XP pro SP2) but the button in the firewall console is light grey. In other words, I can not turn it off.

first of all, under the settings for window's firewall, i am not able to choose whether or not i want to enable it or disable it. it is set as disabled and both the enable/disable buttons are greyed out and i cannot click it. second, my auto update keeps turning itself off. after setting it back on, it will turn off the next time i boot my computer. third, i'm having some networking problems. i can connect onto the other computers of my network, however the other computers cannot connect to me. are all these problems related in anyway?

OS= Windows XP. When I turn on my computer, I get this: Log On Message: The system could not log you on. Make sure your username and domain are correct, then type your password again. Then, I get this: Log on to Windows: User name: HP_Administrator Password _________________
At that point, I do not even have to enter a password, I just click "ok" and it starts up. But the extra steps are a pain. My computer just recently started doing this. How can I turn off or disable this "log on" stuff? I've tried dinking around at Control Panel>User Accounts, but I do not seem to be able to resolve the problem.

I'm constantly annoyed by the windows log-in (welcome) screen. I am the sole user, and there are no other accounts, yet i always need to click 'owner'. I know you can disable this somehow, because i have on my other computer (i forget though).I would like to remove this screen all together.

I am using eTRust EZ firewall and just recently started having problems with it and the effect on my pc. First, it wouldn't let me select allow or ask under the access internet or trusted column under the program control. Now, it won't let me access the internet if the program control is turned to low, medium, or high. The only way for anything to get to the internet is if the setting is turned off

Every time when I turn off my computer, the machine shows "Now is safe to turn or your computer" message. I know there is a way to disable this but just don't know how. I do some search on this website, and found out we can have this fix by enabling the Advanced Power Management Support at Control Panel. However, my computer doesn't have the APM option under the Power Option. I have W2K install on this machine. I did fix this problem before by editing the registry but just forget how to do it.

Windows firewall Just like magic, much of the text on my computer turned from black to blue. For example, all the text I've typed in to label my photos is now all blue, it was black when I originally typed it. All the text I typed in under my document files had turned to blue as well. Not all the text on the computer has turned to blue, just mostly in documents and photos. I have no idea how this happened. Does anybody know how I can change it back to the original color, black. I really have tried everything I can think of and so far nothing works.

I'm in need of finding out what services are enabled and what are not as the 'tech' that worked on my computer disabled many services to make my computer go faster. I didn't want it faster I wanted it usable and functional. If you could point me to a list or provide a list that would be awesome.

I have run virus scan, Adaware and Spybot and nothing is found yet the computer runs slow. Statup takes a long time and while it is loading things the firewall disables until after everything in startup loads. Lately I have had problems when docking my iPod. It just undocks on it's own and nothing is touching it or the cable connecting it to the computer. I ran Hijack this but no sure how to interpret it. I am running Windows 2k pro on a Compaq Presario.

I have this problem and i really don't know what to do....it always happens except when i am playing some games in full screen...A Problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, follow these steps. Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters. Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

I notice Windows XP has a firewall. I was told by a friend it does not work and I need to download one (zoneAlarm). Does XP's firewall serve any purpose?

Before my old harddrive died I ran microsoft sp2 with windows firewall without any problems. But now I can't use windows firewall with sp2. After installing a new hard drive I upgraded my xp home edition which ran on sp1 to sp2 like I did before. I had windows firewall for sp1 but for some reason it's deactivated for sp2.

Let me first start off by saying, I've recently installed the Service Pack 2 for Windows XP and no problems. (yet) Anyways, with it, there is a firewall available. Is it safer than ZoneAlarm for example? I don't know if I can trust it.

Does anybody have any idea what the path and file name is of the Windows XP ICF Firewall? I'm not talking in this case of all it's little files, but just the main executable file. Or is all it's code perhaps simply in a .dll file?

My Windows Firewall automatically turns off every time i reboot. Is this because Norton Antivirus has its own internal firewall? If it is because of Norton, is it ok to leave the Windows Firewall turned off? I'm concerned that my computer isn't adequately secured.
