firewall settings

[Marius Kaizerman]

Hi,

I have quite alot of settings in the built-in xp firewall.
I need to make a new connection and use the same settings, however,
firewall settings are per connection.
Is there a way to copy the firewall settings from one connection to another ?

Thanks,
Marius.

I didn't think there WERE any setting - AFAIK it's "On" or "Off"

Hi,

I mean the firewall configuration. Ports that I wish to open.
On the "Advanced" window in the connection properties,
where you turn the firewall on or off, there's a "settings"
button. When you press it you get to the "services" tab,
there you can control which port do you wish to open.

Thanks.

Which tip from that list was for me ?

Not posting in HTML I should think.

You probably don't want any of those ports open.

Hmmm... What port(s) would I want open so that Neotrace can work properly
with WinXP's firewall activated, I wonder?

I'd advise doing what I've done under similar circumstances - take a pen, a pad of paper, and make a careful list for referring to during setup of the other connection.

Personally I prefer Norton Personal Firewall, it's easier to user and
more flexible.

I'd suggest renaming this group to microsoft.public_bad.jokes, but
someone would make a joke out of this either.
