Windows XP Pro SP2 Firewall (WXP-Pro)

[eggie_ww]

I am utilising windows firewall, on a Lenovo thinkpad.
Everytime I turn on my system, I have to set my firewall on...
How can I prevent it from turning itself off automatically?
Restarting is fine.

I do not have any problems with my desktop using the same OS.

I'm using daily updated trend micro office scan, and MS anti-spyware, if this is any useful..

Thanks alot.

Check in Services (Administrative Tools) and make sure the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) Service is on Automatic and is started.
