You can configure exceptions in the Windows Firewall and not the service.
Also you should be using a perimeter device so that internet users can not
access ANY services offered in your network. The device could be a real
firewall or even a cheap NAT type internet router. The link below explains
more and you need to go to Control Panel/network connections/network
adapter/properties/advanced/settings to configure the Windows Firewall. You
would want to allow access to port 80 TCP for your subnet only.--- Steve
