Overview
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) includes the Windows Firewall, a
replacement for the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) in previous
versions of Windows XP. Windows Firewall is a stateful host-based
firewall that discards unsolicited incoming traffic, providing a level
of protection for computers against malicious users or programs. To
provide better protection for computers connected to any kind of
network (such as the Internet, a home network, or an organization
network), Windows XP SP2 enables Windows Firewall on all network
connections by default. This new behavior can impair some types of
communications. This article describes how to deploy the appropriate
configuration settings for Windows Firewall on an organization network
so that it is enabled and providing protection, and so that
communications are not impaired.

Connection Firewall (ICF). Windows Firewall is a stateful host-based

Need A Windows Server Firewall? So Does
Microsoft
03/19/2005 02:22 AMAn article from the Register by Mark Burnett of SecurityFocus has me
thinking about Windows Servers. We all know that most hosting servers
for websites and ftp servers are Linux-based servers. But Microsoft
has been pushing their new Windows Server software as being better then Apache, the Linux server software of
choice. This article says that there is no adequate firewall for
Windows servers. Check it out and let us know if you think they missed
something..
It seems like the solution would be simple enough. I have been
patiently waiting for someone to come along with a capable,
full-featured Windows firewall so I can stop explaining to everyone
why the right way to go is probably Linux with iptables. But my wait
has mostly been in vain. Every time I think I have found the ultimate
Windows firewall solution, I end up being disappointed in one way or
another… There are plenty of personal
firewalls out there that work quite well for desktop computers, but
they all fall short for server use. Some are obviously better than
others, but all are plagued with common problems such as poor logging
facilities, limited configuration capabilities, slow performance, and
worst of all, many of them seem to be prone to blue screens when
traffic gets very high.
