How do I enable the built in XP Firewall while surfing wirelessly? I
have SP 2 installed. I am a mac user so I am not clear on this.

Thank you.

start\settings\control panel\security center\

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Windoze Firewall
Check the box "Enable firewall".

Then go to the Exceptions tab and make sure that Windoze File and
Print Sharing are NOT checked as an exception. There may be some
other services of dubious value that don't need to be accepting
incoming connections. If you're not sure, check the box "Don't allow
exceptions" on the first page where you enabled the firewall.
