05/07/2004 01:56 AMWindows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), currently a Release Candidate in Beta
testing, includes significant enhancements to the Windows Firewall
component, previously known as the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
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.
