Windows XP firewall.

[Rodney Brown]

Is there a way to turn on the Windows XP firewall without
having anything in Dial Up Networking?

 

[Marc Reynolds [MSFT]]

Sure if you have a network card you can enable ICF on it. What ever network
connection is your Internet connection is the interface that you should
enable ICF on.
