Sure. You will need to upgrade to the XP SP2 administrative templates to do
such OR manage Group Policy from a known secure administrative XP Pro SP2
workstation while logged on as a domain admin using the mmc snapin for Group
Policy. Then you will have more firewall options under computer
configuration/administrative templates/network/network connections/Windows
Firewall. The domain profile is in effect when a domain computer is
connected to the domain. --- Steve
