I cannot disable XP's firewall because both options in the firewall menu are grayed out.

Open regedit and check to see if the following registry key exists:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\WindowsFirewall

If so, delete or rename that key, as that key does not exist by default and may be causing the issue.

To rename the key right-click WindowsFirewall and rename to WindowsFirewallold

Create a System restore point beforehand and reboot the computer after.

BTW, are you able to access the internet in "Safe Mode with Networking"?
Wow dude thank so much, that fixed it! :D

I love you! :p]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18914486 Mon, 20 Aug 2007 19:27:52 EDT Re: SP2 blocks access to Internet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18908434 auggy :

Disable the firewall or select the auto function, that normally allows common apps to access the net through the firewall.
Do you have another firewall on your system?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18908226 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 19:42:57 EDT Re: SP2 blocks access to Internet http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18906120 Noctambule : Read This First ;)

It just instantly gives me a blank page on FF or an error page on IE. I cannot disable XP's firewall because both options in the firewall menu are grayed out. My cable modem lights work perfectly, and a Cogeco technician that I called told me that my modem pinged perfectly.

What's going? Thanks!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18906101 Sun, 19 Aug 2007 13:14:30 EDT
