How do I turn off Avast's firewall?

I am running Avast Free Antivirus 5.0. Is there a way to turn off the Firewall with a single button click? Or do I need to go into each of the following and individually disable each of them: File System Shield, Mail Shield, Web Shield, P2P Shield, IM Shield, Network Shield and Behavior Shield?

I was going to post this link: How to Disable an Avast Firewall, but then I noticed that avast! Free does not include a firewall - you need avast! Internet Security for that...

IIRC, the various Avast "Shields" are just their terms for a/v funtionality to cover scanning files in differing areas on your system. The "Shields" have nothing to do with a firewall (at least in their basic product).

Avast installs in Icon next to the clock in the lower right corner of the monitor.
Right-click the icon and chose "avast shields control"

In that case, I guess it's not Avast's Firewall that's giving me connectivit issues ...
