Keeping Vista Firewall messages from poping up

I have a Westell Versalink 327w modem from ATT.

It has a hard wired firewall in it. So I have turned off

the Windows Vista Firewall. BUT Windows Vista repeatedly

keeps on asking me to turn it's firewall on. This is very

annoying and I would like to disable it.

How can I do that?

Surely this is a NAT firewall, which is not quite the same thing, and doesnt

alleviate the requirement or a software firewall

Surely not. It has a stateful firewall. ;-)

You are not going to find anything better than the Vista FW and Vista in

itself due to the advanced features the FW and Vista are using.
