Hi
There is no support for export/import settings in the Windows XP
Firewall.
You can display the settings like this (in a command prompt):
netsh.exe firewall show config
For a more detailed listing:
netsh.exe firewall show config verbose = ENABLE
Redirect to a file like this:
netsh.exe firewall show config verbose = ENABLE >fw_cfg.txt
You can e.g. create a batch file and run netsh.exe commands there
to configure the firewall on all computers.
The netsh.exe syntax is documented in WF_XPSP2.doc.

Windows XP with Service Pack 2" is downloadable from
