Hi Sam,

1. In Control Panel, double-click Networking and Internet Connections, and
then click Network Connections.

2. Right-click the connection on which you would like to enable ICF, and
then click Properties.

3. On the Advanced tab, click the box to select the option to Protect my
computer or network.

4. If you want to enable the use of some applications and services through
the firewall, you need to enable them by clicking the Settings button, and
then selecting the programs, protocols, and services to be enabled for the
ICF configuration.

You can also do it by using the Network SetupWizard:

  1.. Point to Control Panel, double-click Network and Internet Connections,
and then click Setup or change your home or small office network.
  2.. The Internet Connection Firewall is enabled when you choose a
configuration in the wizard that indicates that your computer is connected
directly to the Internet.
hope that helps!
