Yes, you can adjust the F/W, but instead of a nice GUI to
alter the ruleset, you need to alter the port attributes
manually. First you will need to know what
ports/protocol you want to deal with.
Open the properties for for ICF (Internet Connection
Firewall), and you are presented with the default rules
for the default ports. Make the changes you need here.
