Disable Windows Firewall? Paul 06-01-2006

If I'm using a firewall from another company such as Norton do I need to
turn off the Windows Firewall?

What's the official line on this? Can't find anything anywhere!

Anyone know what's best?


Thanks

Yes. Only run one firewall.

If you are running a SP 2 compatible version of a Norton-branded firewall
product, the Norton product automatically turns off Windows Firewall. This
also applies to other major firewall products.
