Summary
Windows Firewall is a host-based stateful firewall in Windows XP SP2 that discards unsolicited incoming traffic that does not correspond to a configured and enabled exception. Windows Firewall provides a level of security from malicious Internet users who scan computers looking for vulnerabilities. Windows Firewall is enabled by default and can be configured using the new Windows Firewall component of Control Panel and through Group Policy settings. The most common problems with Windows Firewall are the inability of server, peer, or listening applications to receive traffic. In most cases, configuring the appropriate exception is the solution to a lack of connectivity experienced by an application. Windows XP provides several tools to gather information for troubleshooting Windows Firewall issues.
