Windows XP Service Pack 1

[Guest]

I am on Service Pack 1. I do not have any icons for windows security or
firewall. wscui.cpl does not bring it up either.

I need to open port 22 on my machine. Everything I've found online so far
requires that you open it thru windows firewall.

How can I open this port w/out using windows firewall? And if I cannot find
firewall, what would be blocking this port?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi Emily,

WSCUI.CPL (Windows Security Center applet) feature was introduced in Windows
XP Service Pack 2 only.
