Hi Brett. Thank-you for your post.
I believe that the filter settings for the "advanced TCP/IP filters" are
kept in the registry. So you should be able to manipulate them
programmatically one way or another. The drawback to using this approach
is that when you make changes to these filters, the system always has to be
rebooted before the changes take affect.
I recommend using IPSec filters instead. Changes to these filters can be
made via a script and changes take affect without rebooting the system.
These article will help you do this:

I hope that helps.
