    If this is what you get:

    "Due to an unidentified problem, windows cannot display the windows firewall settings"

    try this:

    To fix this problem, two dlls need to be re-registered:First: Click Start -> Run, Then type regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\atl.dll and hit OKSecond: regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\hnetcfg.dll and Hit OKThis should allow for the viewing and configuration of the XPfirewall settings.

    The above solution was taken from: [http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic18437.html]

    This method did not work for me..

    THIS ONE DID

    Method 1: Call the "Setup API InstallHinfSection" function to install Windows Firewall

    To install Windows Firewall, follow these steps:

    Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

    At the command prompt, type the following command line, and then press ENTER:

    Rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf

    Restart Windows,

    Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.

    At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    Netsh firewall reset

    Click Start, click Run, type firewall.cpl, and then press ENTER. In the Windows Firewall dialog box, click On (recommended), and then click OK.

    Now everything fine
