    To find out which profile to activate (domain or standard), Windows Firewall
    in SP2 compares DNS suffixes from the network connections and the system
    that send the last GPO.

    Now, what if you don't have GPO's (like in NT4) ? How does it know when
    you're 'in the domain' ?

    First tests in my NT4 domain show that it doesn't know, and consequently
    startup in standard profile.
    Any idea's ?
