If you're using 10.5(?) or earlier open System Preferences/ Sharing then select Firewall from the option and under the Firewall-Off/On option select Stop if it's already on.

If you're using 10.6 or above then open System Preferences/ Security select the Firewall option and select Stop.

Firewalls aren't necessary on any Apple computers, because viruses for Apple Computers are very rare. Regardless, you can purchase anti-virus software such as Norton for Mac, and set up the firewall that is built in to your computer.

To set up your Mac's firewall, follow these instructions:

Go to file>new finder window. This will open up finder. In the left margin of the finder window, click on "Applications". Search for System Preferences (the logo is a metallic square containing a gear). Once in System Preferences, find Security and Privacy and open it. Once inside, click on the "Firewall" tab. From here, follow the on-screen instructions.

Cheers!
