   Greetings   
      
   the firewall is down, and the only reason Microsoft can give is that it   
   involves a group policy.  Unfortunately, the rest must be presumed to be   
   "obvious" as there is nothing in the "help" files about what one is, or   
   how to set, reset, or change one.   
   	The tech support center is really cool, and must be useful for   
   something, but, again, I can't find anything about what sets group   
   policy or how do I change it.   
      
   	Meanwhile, MS Firewall is off, disabled, non-functional, disinclined   
   to acquiesce, and pining for the fords of Redmond.  Which wouldn't be so   
   bad, but EzTrust's firewall which I had been running is also gone a   
   cropper.  Nothing like being told I need to reinstall the software, but   
   the software doesn't want to install.  But that's a separate issue.   
      
   	So what is a group policy, and how is it changed?
