    You do not have it. It was released with SP2. You do have ICF (Internet connection firewall) but that is disabled by default.
    Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you help them become what they are capable of being.

    Right click "My Network Places"
    Right click the connection that you want to disable the firewall (Local Area Network or whatever) and select Properties.
    Go to the Advanced Tab, and you'll see it there.

    As cacharo said though it is disabled by default, but you may have turned it on at some point.
    Also, you REALLY need to upgrade to SP2.
    All things are possible, only believe.

    You can disable the service, or am I wrong?
    "Check both the destination and return path when a route fails." "Switches create a network. Routers connect networks."
