My pc just be remoted unlawfully by sb from the internet.
so i want to setup my firewall of xp to defend the same
things will be happened again.
when i choose to active the firewall, i must go to
setup some option of setting. i am not sure to choose
which one is best.
so i just choose sth i know, such as: FTP,Secure web
server and web server.
but after i choose them,my girlfiernd's PC can not
go to my network share folder.i shared the D: to be the
share folder, we are network connetion users.
I don't why. and i think if network connection user can
not be allowed go to my share folder, of cause the
internet user also can not be in.but how to give her a
liberty to let only her can see mee my share folder.
I saw some books,they said i must setup the new port for
it,but which one should i setup??the port of ADSL router
also has port forwarding~~ or setting of the firewall of
XP? and how to setup

WinXP's built-in firewall is not designed to be used on internal
LAN connections. The _only_ connection on which you should have ICF
enabled is the direct connection to the Internet.

Internet Firewalls Can Prevent Browsing and File Sharing

This matter is addressed in Service Pack 2. WinXP's redesigned
built-in Windows Firewall will allow exceptions for File & Print
Sharing.
