You can find information on the group policy in either of the following
places. The first link is a link to the whitepaper that describes the group
policy settings. The second is a link to a "Cable Guy" article that also
talks about the group policy settings.

Depending on the computers, you may want to set both the state of the
firewall for both the "Domain" and "Standard" profiles. The white paper
contains a detailed description on where to find the policies and what they
mean. If you have any other questions, please post back in a reply to this
message.

Hope this answers your question!
