you can "disable" the firewall by setting your machine as the DMZ host, which should allow all traffic between your ip address and the internet address your router has. this isn't exactly disabling it, but what it will acomplish is to let any outside traffic contacting your router to be passed directly to your machine without checking to see if it is legitimate requested traffic from your network.
some functions that the network address translation provides will not be able to be bypassed because of the way some aplications work, but if you're having problems with things like games or other internet aplications this may help. sometimes you even have to use port forwarding in conjunction with a DMZ host to get aplications working just right.
