Question: Does XP PRO have a built in firewall? Today I converted to XP from W2K. And have heard that XP PRO does have a built in Fire wall. Is That True?

Yes it does. It is limited as it only blocks incoming traffic only. A good software firewall is recommened. You can see if it is enabled by using the control panel>network connections>local area connections>right click select properties>advanced and see if it is enabled.
