Here is the rest of the stuff to drive you crazy ___________________________________________________________ How to Manually Open Ports in Internet Connection Firewall in Windows XP (Q308127) SUMMARY This article contains the steps to manually open ports in Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) in Windows XP.
MORE INFORMATION Programs may potentially require ports to be manually opened so that they function properly when ICF is in use either on the local computer or on the gateway computer. You may have to use this procedure if there is a service that is running on a computer that has ICF enabled that you want to make available to users on the Internet.

I steal them for even though you only wanted to know this part of what is there... ____________________________________________________________ The SECURITY LOGGING tab deals primarily with what to log, how much to log and where to keep the log. The default settings enable a log located either at C:\WINNT\pfirewall.log (if upgrading from a Windows 2000 Professional or Windows NT 4.0 installation) or C:\WINDOWS\pfirewall.log (if upgrading from Windows 9x/Me or performing a clean installation). The default log size is 4096KB and can be changed to fit the needs of your situation. By default, logging is not in effect. You can choose two items to log as shown in Figure 3.
If you have not set up the ICF after you have installed it...It will still work..but not as it has been designed.
Most people do not know that..or the things they can do with it to protect their system..so it just sets there..with people coming in here and asking...is it enough..can I run it with another firewall like ZA or Kerio.
..and most do not even know what they have in the first place...I guess that is why i post that stuff..and since you do not seem to need it....maybe the next guy/gal will.
