What Windows Operating System are you using?

If you are using Windows XP, go to Start --> RUN and type in firewall.cpl and click OK. Then select the off radio button and click ok.

If you are using Vista or 7, Click start --> type in to the search field Advanced windows firewall and the advanced firewall options will come up. If you like, you can turn firewall off for all profiles listed there.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Do not waste your time. The OP does not return to any threads he starts.

If your firewall cannot turn off go to advanced and see what is blocking it. Once you find what it is go to it and turn the other firewall off. should work.
