If you have upgraded to WinXP SP2, then it is ON by default. If not, then it is OFF by default.
You really should be updating your computer. The updates really do help, and I know this from personal experience b/c I reinstalled my OS like 50 times and I know how susceptible they are to becoming immediately infested with worms/viruses/etc if they are behind in updates.
But in either case, this is not a fire-wall issue because I am using D2 LOD in Vista fine right now and I do not have an exception for it in the firewall. You only need to open ports in the firewall if you are running a "server" application that listens for incoming connections. You don't need to for a client game like D2 where you send out the request and make the connection first.
If you have upgraded to WinXP SP2, then it is ON by default. If not, then it is OFF by default.
I have SP2. Original XP Home doesn't even have it. Means, XP can work without the program. Means, it is not inbuilt. And if it is turned on in a service pack that doesn't mean that it is inbuilt.
I had a Windows XP some years ago that did not have Firewall, in fact, I needed SP for Firewall. How can it be inbuilt?

It's called Firefox. No worms, no viruses.

It isn't really but it will work with a little tweaking
