Hi

There are several solutions available to disable the firewall
not using the GUI.

Here are two ways:

1)
Adding the registry values below, this can be done either
before or after SP2 is installed (use e.g. regedit.exe):


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dowsFirewall\DomainProfile
\EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dowsFirewall\StandardProfile
\EnableFirewall=0 (DWORD data type)

Those registry values are documented in WF_XPSP2.doc

WF_XPSP2.doc "Deploying Windows Firewall Settings for Microsoft
Windows XP with Service Pack 2" is downloadable from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...d-499f73a637d1


If you want to disable the firewall service as well, run this command
line from e.g. Start/Run (do not remove the space after start= ):

sc.exe config SharedAccess start= disabled


2)

The following command line will disable SP2's firewall (must be
run after SP2 is installed and at least one reboot is done):

netsh.exe firewall set opmode mode=disable profile=all


The netsh.exe syntax is also documented in WF_XPSP2.doc.


If you want to disable the firewall service as well, run this command
line from e.g. Start/Run (do not remove the space after start= ):

sc.exe config SharedAccess start= disabled
