WXP SP2 Firewall - Allow Subnet full access

[Rob Carey]

Good Day Folks,

What we are looking to do is allow one of our subnets to
have un-restricted access to the Windows machines, we
would like to have the new firewall perform its duties on
all the other subnets though.
The only way I see to do this is to enable an exclusion
for each port and then set the subnet for them. Well,
there are allot of ports. Is there a way just to un-
restrict a different subnet then the computers are on and
allow all the traffic in?
IE. PC's are on the 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 Subnet
Allow all traffic from 100.100.100.1/255.255.255.0 Subnet?
Our network is segmented into many different subnets and
would like the management subnet to get to all the
machines.
Thanks in advance.
