Blocking IP's with SP2 Firewall
How do you block specific IP addresses using Windows XP Service Pack 2
Firewall? E.g. if someone is threatening to hack me, and I have their IP address, I would like to add it so they cannot connect to me in anyway. Thanks to anyone who can tell me! |

I don't know if XP's new firewall will do what you want, but IMHO blocking a specific IP address is futile. All the hacker has to do is go to a different PC with a different IP address (or, if he has the ability, to change the IP address on his current PC) and he's bypassed your attempt at security. -- The reader should exercise normal caution and backup the Registry and data files regularly, and especially before making any changes to their PC, as well as performing regular virus and spyware scans.

If someone is threatening to hack you, it means that they're UNABLE to do
so. Take my word for it! Only people with no clue say stupid things like that. "0blivion" wrote in message news How do you block specific IP addresses using Windows XP Service Pack 2 Firewall?

The REAL reason I want to do this, is so when people connect to me through an Application I have, I can block their IP is they connect through that application. My problem has not yet been solved! :-( |

Blocking IP's with SP2 Firewall
This is not a feature of the sp2 firewall. you might be able to set
something up with the tcp/ip filtering engine or by creating an ipsec policy to block that ip. If someone is trying to hack you, though, they're not likely to keep a given ip very long. -- David Microsoft Windows Networking This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
