I have a Westell Versalink 327w modem from ATT.
It has a hard wired firewall in it. So I have turned off
the Windows Vista Firewall. BUT Windows Vista repeatedly
keeps on asking me to turn it's firewall on. This is very
annoying and I would like to disable it.
How can I do that?

Surely this is a NAT firewall, which is not quite the same thing, and doesnt
alleviate the requirement or a software firewall

Hi Jack,

This will show you how to disable the Security Center alert
notification.

Surely not. It has a stateful firewall. -)

You are not going to find anything better than the Vista FW and Vista in
itself due to the advanced features the FW and Vista are using.
