If you have a security software program such as ZoneAlarm, or Trend Micro, you should be able to find the option to turn off the firewall part of the program. In windows, you can disable the Firewall by going to your Windows Control Panel, then to Security Center, from here you should be able to turn off the firewall. There really isn't a need to have a firewall if your internet connection is hooked up to a home router. I really can't give you much more detailed information unless you can tell me what OS you are running and the type of security software you have installed.
