Attemps to open its setting from Properties of Network Connection bring to an error: Windws firewall could not start.

Can you see it in control panel / security centre

[alkemist]

Its not service packed windows... no security center. Firewall cannot be launched from control panel

Try here for SP1

You should go for SP2 but then the XP Firewall only blocks incoming data

You would be better getting SP2 and a third party firewall

Zone Alarm is a popular choice
