RE: Bug in XP Help and Support, or Don't Be Fooled By Disabled Services

Yeah, I used to think that also. We disable the XP Internet Connection 
Firwall service because we have our own, a real one. On our ThinkPads, the 
IBM Access Connections software re-enables and starts it.

The problem wa resolved by uninstalling IBM Access Connections.
