    Don't think you can permanently disable firewall.

    Activate learning mode by:

    Setup > Personal firewall > Advanced Personal firewall setup > Filtering Mode

    Then from the drop-down menu choose 'Learning Mode' and click 'OK'

    Firewall mode can be selected during installation in advanced mode. Also it's possible to disable it completely or limiting it to scanning of applicatin protocols at a later time by switching fw integration to "Personal firewall is completely disabled" or "Only scan application protocols".

    Marcos could you give step by step directions for that? I'm on VOIP (voice over Internet Protocol) which is internet run telephone, and the firewall keeps bottlenecking my calls.

    Hello,

    If you are using a VoIP service that runs SIP (or some other standard protocol) you might want to try excluding the protocol/ports and server endpoints from being scanned. If you are using a technology like Skype that essentially makes random connections or making direct connections to random endpoints this probably won't work.

    Regards,

    Aryeh Goretsky
