Default Another firewall question, SP2


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.

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.
