How can i turn off the windows firewall using my application ?

I used this code..
<pre>
Type NetFwMgrType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("HNetCfg.FwMgr", false);
INetFwMgr mgr = (INetFwMgr)Activator.CreateInstance(NetFwMgrType);
mgr.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile.FirewallEnabled = false;
</pre>
But it is not working..
It gave the following errors..

Not implemented means that the method of property is present probably because of some interface requirement. The developer choose to throw a "Not implemented" exception to make the user of the library aware that this method or property does not have the anticipated effect.

At least not with the library you are using.
