The first thing you should do is enable Windows XP's built-in Firewall:

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.
