Has anyone developed a minimal list of TCP/UDP Ports to open on the built-in
Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall to allow the client machine to work
properly in a LAN Windows 2000 Active Directory Domain?
We have heard that the ICF was originally intended for home users. But with
the recent announcement of the heightened security enhancements in SP2 for
Windows XP it really sounds like Microsoft is changing that to include those
on a LAN.

If they are turning ICF ON by default with SP2 that certainly applies to the
thousands of XP machines we have on our LAN so we expect a way to configure
the advanced settings of ICF with Group Policies.
