Having installed the xp sp2, I cannot find the firewall to disable it in
order to allow me to use my ports for peer to peer transfers. Any ideas?

Thanks

Adding a program exception:

1. Use an Administrator account to log on.
2. Click Start, click Run, type: Wscui.cpl , and then click OK.
3. In the Windows Security Center window, click Windows Firewall.
4. On the Exceptions tab, click Add Program.
5. In the list of programs, click the name of the program you want to add,
and then click OK. If the name of your program is not in the list of programs,
click Browse to locate the program, and then click OK.
