On my XP desktop, when I go to Network Connections, the third item under
Network Tasks is "Change Windows Firewall Settings".

  It's not strictly necessary to disable one in order to run the other.
Running more than one will slightly slow down your network traffic, and it
may be harder to troubleshoot if one of them blocks traffic you need to
allow.  But there isn't the same scope for pathological interaction and
collision that can happen trying to run multiple antivirus packages at once.
