Another firewall question, re: SP2

[John Bailo]

Was it only in SP2 that XP has its firewall enabled by default?

Was it enabled by SP1?

Or ever since XP was delivered?

I think it was enabled by default only beginning with SP2.

Windows Firewall was only introduced into the product with SP2.
SP1 didn't have a native firewall incorporated.

Not true. Prior versions of XP had Internet Connection Firewall, although
it wasn't enabled by default.

Right, and by this you prove a long history of

(a) me asking relevent and pertinent technical questions about the three
major OSes ( OSX, XP, Linux ) and you and your 1000 nyms trying to
slander me in public.

Read answers to your first question. This one has also been answered there.

You are absolutely correct.
Never had any use whatsoever for ICF, so it completely slipped my mind.

LOL! I provided a link. You provided the slander, to divert attention
to the link.

I used it almost constantly and never had any problems with it. When I have
gotten into trouble with firewalls, it was always a third party firewall,
most notably Zone Alarm and CA (which uses the Zone Alarm firewall, I
believe).

You know what? Ask away. I have no problem with that.

However, don't ANSWER any questions. That is where you run into
problems.
