That's what you get for free - if you want versatility and
customization, you'll need to disable the XP built in firewall and
install a 3rd party firewall. You know, MS can only do so much
without stepping over the mystical, magical monopolization boundary.
They put too much functionality in, they get class action sued as a
monopoly.
