Cant find my XP firewall.

[BradBo]

I am trying to enable my XP firewall (Home Edition).

The problem is I cant find the advanced tab as directed by Microsoft.com.

Here is the instruction given.

"How to Enable Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) on Windows XP

On the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, click Start, and then click Control Panel.

Click the Network and Internet Connections category.

(If the Network and Internet Connectionsis not visible, click Switch to Category View under Control Panel on the left side of the Control Panel window.)

Click Network Connections.

Right-click the Dial-up, LAN, or High-Speed Internet connection that you use to connect to the Internet, and then click Properties from the context menu.

On the Advanced tab, under Internet Connection Firewall, select Protect my computer or network, and then click OK.

The Windows XP firewall is now enabled."

When I go to the Network Connections in Control Panel and right click on Internet Connection all I get is a settings tab.

Where might I find the firewall option?
