Hi,

I typically use Zone Alarm which allows me to specify my other home
PC's as trusted.

I have a PC now which is only running Windows Firewall from XP SP2. Is
there anyway to just set windows firewall to trust other pc's similar
to how I did it with Zone Alarm?

So far it seems Id need to enable each port one by one. Really I want
to just fully trust any PC's on my local network.

thanks,
Adam
