To view the security log file

Firewall is enabled, and then, under Network Tasks, click
Change settings of this connection.
On the Advanced tab, click Settings
On the Security Logging tab, under Log file options,
under Name, click Browse.
Scroll to pfirewall.log, right-click pfirewall.log, and
then click Open.
Double-click the log file to open it, and view the

The default name for the firewall log is pfirewall.log
and the location is in the Windows folder.
If the maximum allowable size for pfirewall.log is
exceeded, the information that the log file contains is
written to a new file and saved as pfirewall.log.1. The
new information is saved in pfirewall.log.
Internet Connection Sharing, Internet Connection
Firewall, Discovery and Control, and Network Bridge are
not available on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition.
