I don't think anyone on this ng uses the windows xp firewall.
Most (if not all) of us use that "other" firewall program.
The one that actually works.
Everyone knows that anything from Microsoft is pure garbage.
The windows xp firewall can't even start up upon reboot.
It's just another (RDB) really dumb program by Microsoft.
The windows firewall is a joke.
Besides not blocking anything, it won't even start up gracefully.
You're the idiot for using Microsoft products in the first place.
What did you expect from Microsoft anyway?
