If you are in an office then the firewall is probably controlled by the IT department so it is up to them to turn it on or off.

If you are using the standard XP firewall.........
Click on
Control Panel
Security Center
and you will see the ON/OFF button for the XP firewall. At the bottom of this page you will see 'Windows Firewall' click on this, then just click the OFF button.
Obviously do the reverse when you have finished downloading as it is vital to be firewalled nowadays.

In fairness a home user who doesn't know how to turn his firewall on/off isn't going have a clucking flue what a DMZ is.
Good chance to show off you know what one is though....
