Does anyone happen do know the command for the Advanced Firewall settings in

Win

XP. I tried `wf.msc' (which may be just for Vista) on my wife's WinXP

computer and it doesn't work.

Are you looking for firewall.cpl?

Terry, `firewall.cpl' is not what I was looking for. If you have a vista

machine and you do Run===WF.msc you'll get a pretty comprehensive app that

allows for many firewall setting including lists of outgoing/ingoing

firewall settings, with an ability to disable any, add more, etc. . Maybe XP

just doesn't have this.
