WINDOWS FIREWALL IS DEACTIVATED. HELPL PLZ.?
ON MY WIN XP SP2 ACER LAPTOP WINDOWS FIREWALL IS DEACTIVATED AFTER A REPAIR MADE ON THE SYSTEM.
I TRIED TO OPEN IT FROM CONTROL PANNEL BUT IT SAYS: WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS CANT BE SHOWN, WINDOWS FIREWALL IS DEACTIVATED. DO YOU WANT TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS FIREWALL/ INTERNET CONNECTION SHARING? YES OR NO?”
WHEN I CLICK YES, IT DOES NT CHANGE.
WHEN I OPEN THE WEB BROWSER THE PAGES CANT BE DISPLAYED EVEN THOUGH THE INTERNET CONNECTION IS ACTIVE.WHEN I CLICK ON THE “TOOLS” TAB ON THE WEB BROWSER TO TRY AND REACH INTERNET OPTIONS IT DOES NT OPEN AT ALL. I’VE TICKED THE BOX SAYS ” SHOW ICON IN TRAY WHEN CONNECTED”. YET THE MONITORS DONT SHOW IN THE TRAY.
FINALLY IT ALSO WRITES ” AN IP ADDRESS CONFLICT WITH ANOTHER SYSTEM ON THE NETWORK HAS BEEN DETECTED ON YOUR SYSTEM”
BUT AM NOT ON ANY NETWORK. AM ONLY USING THE WIRELESS CONNECTION OF MY DESKTOP PC WHICH DOES NT HAVE ANY PASSKEY OR LOCK. WHAT DO I DO?

Try this:
Go to start+control panel+at the top click “switch to classic view”+
Administrative tool+services+scroll down to “windows firewall/internet sharing” click on this,and if the dialog box does not say automatic,
set it too automatic.
If it is already on automatic,I have no idea.
