XP firewall Domain Profile leaves 2nd wireless nic wide open?
Hello, I am researching on using winxp firewall. My question is that when a
user is connected to the domain and the xp fireall domain profile is in use. (Our case the firewal domain profile disables the firewall) Will it also disable the firewall on all other nics on a laptop?? For example we have laptop users that leave their wireless nic on when docking back in the office and then join the domain through the wired nic on the doc. They can easily connect to other wireless networks since we are in a big city while the firewall domain profile is enabled. Does that mean that the wireless nic has no firewall enabled also? Or is XP firewall smart enough to know that the wireless nic cant find the domain controller for our network and the firewall stays on for that wireless nic while the other wired nic that did find the domain controller fw gets disabled? If not anyone know something that would adress this. |
