Rocky,
No, turn it off. Also if you have Norton's firewall you'll want to remove
that or Zone Alarm. Having more than one firewall is a drag on the system
and can cause conflicts. Same with AVs.

I'm running Zone Alarm, Norton, and have a firewall in my router.

Do I need the Win XP Pro firewall as well?  Seems like overkill.  Any
downside/upside?

TIA
