Default Win XP Firewall

Dear LOTR

I use WinXP SP1 along with Norton Personal Firewall 2003, I also use other protection software which is not relevant to this discussion.

I have turned on my XP firewall, which is not really a firewall because although it will block some things from getting into your PC it will not stop anything from getting out. I understand that the SP2 firewall works in exactly the same manner. Therefore, there is no surprise that LW can access the Internet without any configuration of XP’s (so called) firewall.

However, NPF2003 can auto or manually configure your PCs protection for both incoming and out going communications with the Internet and, in my opinion, is well worth having.



UK Bob
