TSGL: administrative tools/services/Windows Firewall

[William Pike]

There is NO way that I'd advise anyone to turn OFF windows firewall.. With
XP Pro SP2 the firewall works fairly good and shouldn't (in my opinion)
interfere with Zone Alarm...

Did you check your friends computer to see if internet time was set to run
the service?

  using winxp-pro  sp2
  I have zone alarm on.
   
    in Ctrl Panel / windows firewall /   it is turned off.
   
  however, when I was checking out my  Windows Time  due to this email
  I noticed in  administrative tools/services/Windows Firewall  that  
     Startup Type is set to Automatic,   and services indicate  Started.
  Should I disable that there?

scroll down and look for "Windows Time" make sure that this service is
started. Also right click on the entry and go to properties and make sure
that the service is set to start automatically...

This type of issue occurs when someone installs a program that changes the
root windows setup (such as AOL).

Subject: TSGL: Another Time Related Question "Internet Time"

I'm running XP Home SP2. When I go into "Adjust Date/Time", I have 3
tabs---"Date & Time", "Time Zone" and "Internet Time". When I click on the
"Internet Time" tab, I see a box that I can check, titled "Automatically
synchronize with an Internet time server. Then there is a pull-down box
where you can enter the time server that you want to use. It defaults to
"time.windows.com", but you can change it to whatever time server you want
to use.

Now, here is my question. I have a friend who is running XP Pro SP2 and when
she goes into "Adjust Date/Time", she does not have the "Internet Time"
tab.

Does anyone know why one version of XP has it and the other doesn't? And
with that in mind, is there any way to add that functionality to her system?
