• FIREWALL OPTIONS GRAYED OUT:
Deploying Windows Firewall Settings With Group Policy http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechn...t/wfsp2wgp.mspx When you use Group Policy to configure Windows Firewall, by default local administrators will be unable to change some elements of its configuration locally, using the Windows Firewall component in Control Panel. Some tabs and options in the Windows Firewall dialog box will be grayed out and unavailable, even for local administrators. Troubleshooting the Windows XP SP2 Firewall in Your Home Network http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/id-3016.html If the options on the General, Exceptions, and Advanced tabs are grayed out, it means you are not logged on to the computer with a user account that has administrative permissions. A user with administrative permissions must log on to the computer to change the firewall options, or to change your user account to an administrative account. -------------------- "THE BAD GUYS DON'T NEED A SEARCH WARRANT.
