As I understand it, generally

A proxy server is a server you connect to via your own ISP,  quite often used to hide your IP address when surfing.  It does have the advantage of protecting your computer from unauthorized access to a certain degree as hackers don't have your details when trying to access your computer, they have the proxy servers.  This service is usually a program you have downloaded or a web page you log into before you surf

ie

computer - isp - proxy server - surf the web

A firewall is something on your router/computer that helps block unauthorized access to your computer.  Windows has one built in and so do some routers.  Router firewalls - you will need to refer to your documentation.  Windows firewall is in control panel of windows XP.  Some ISP's have them with their software ie AOL also you can download them from the net

ie

computer - firewall - isp - surf the net

I would not recommend turning your firewall off as you leave yourself open to unauthorized access to your pc, virus's, trojans etc.

You can turn on Phishing and it will check the site to make sure no one is trying to get in and surf with you.....lol
