Windows Service pack Proxy/Firewall? How do you turn it off?

    I downloaded the new windows service pack a while ago (I think SP3) as part
    of windows update. Now when I go to GameSpy (for my games) it says
    something about a proxy or firewall and that there are problems with my
    internal and external IP address (saying they are different). ??? did the
    service pack install a proxy or firewall? This is not what I want. How do
    I turn it off? I've looked in the Internet Options and can't find anything
    related.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Brad

    I went to the Control panel and clicked on the new Windows Firewall icon.

    Thanks

    I turned off the firewall and it still came up with that message. This is
    something I didn't get before I installed window's new service pack. Any
    suggestions? ...As a last resort, is there a way to uninstall the service
    pack?

    Thanks,
    Brad

    You may find this recent Lockergnome video tip about the XP SP2 firewall

    a few moments to download before the video plays.)
