XP firewall

Someone please know how to customize XP's built in firewall?
I've tried everything and I can't update my antivirus program!
I can't play multiplayer games either!
It doesn't help to disable the firewall!

Xp's built in firewall is evil. One of it's "features" is disableing all UDP traffic. That will make most games and internet programs not work. Disable it unless you absolutley need it.

Right click "My Network Places"
Hit "Properties"
Right click your modem/network adapter
Hit "properties"
Select the "advanced" tab

It's in there. DON'T use it though. It is utter shit.

If you've disabled it, then it's not causing the problems . . .

Is there any other sort of firewall that your using? proxy server?
