How to switch off the firewall?

[Anand_RF]

Which firewall?
Right-click on your firewall in the system tray. There should be an option similar in wording to "Shut down/ Turn off protection/Close Firewall."

If it's Windows Firewall, goto start > programs > Accessories > System Tools > Security Center.

Click on the Windows Firewall link at the bottom in the "Manage Security Settings For" section.

Then click Turn off.
