There is an article here http://online.securityfocus.com/infocus/1620
dealing specifically with ICF. The article says you can not use ICF and
Outlook because ICF does not support RPC; also disables file sharing.

It says there is no granular support, I have not worked much with XP, this
is another reason not too! I wonder if the available services could be
edited to allow different ports than the standard ports; ie, ftp rule be
reconfigured to allow RPC?
