I am runnng XP Pro on a stand alone machine. I am trying to set up the XP Firewall but on following the instructions from Microsoft encounter a slight (?) problem in that the Local Area Connections Properties Window has no Advanced Tab. Anyone have any ideas please?

If you have AOL:

America Online installs its own connection settings that override
the ones that come with Windows XP. America Online's
connection settings don't include a way to turn on Windows XP's
built-in firewall.

Visit the following web site for instructions on downloading
a FREE firewall program for your computer.
