I had to give permissions two or three times to the XP SP2 Firewall so yes
outgoing is supported.

It asked me for permission for Mcafee AV, for MSN Messenger, and for my SMC
Router firewall.
OE was apparently automatically configured, it didn't ask permission for it.

Previous post should read:
wojo:

Specifically, do you have to grant permission for AdAware v6 to access the
Internet for updates?
On my SP2 RC1, the answer is no.

Are there any programs for which you do not have to grant permission?
I have seen popups to install ActiveX controls via a web site, but never
to
control outbound connections for the following:
MSIE
Outlook Express
AdAware v6
NIS 2003
AVG v6
MS Word
MBSA

TIA

I don't understand why that says it automatically allows all outgoing when
that clearly wasn't the case on my computer. It also doesn't have any
outgoing options when you open the firewall settings.
This doesn't make much sense since the firewall program opened and asked if
I wanted to grant outgoing permission on 3 different occasions. I need to do
further research on the subject I think so I can find out what the deal is.

does Win XP SP2 do outbound firewall control

Following notes are from a Word file I dnloaded (no URL):
Expanded file name: WinXPSP2_Documentation.doc

Changes to Functionality in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2

February 20, 2004
Starr Andersen, Technical Writer, Microsoft Corporation
Vincent Abella, Technical Editor, Microsoft Corporation
This preliminary document applies to the beta release of for Microsoft®
Windows® XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) for the 32-bit versions of Windows XP
Professional and Windows XP Home Edition. It does not describe all of the
changes that will be included in the final release of the service pack.

Windows Firewall will automatically allow all outbound connections,
regardless of the program and the user context

For typical consumer and office computers, the computer is a client on the
network. Software on the computer connects out to a server (an outbound
connection) and gets responses back from the server. Windows Firewall
allows
all outbound connections, but applies rules to the types of communication
that are allowed back into the computer. For more information about what
network traffic Windows Firewall allows as part of Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) and User Data Protocol (UDP) outbound connections, see
Notes,
below

It asked me for permission for Mcafee AV, for MSN Messenger, and for my
SMC
Router firewall.
OE was apparently automatically configured, it didn't ask permission for it.

Thanks for the info.

I aid I was gong to look into it further and I did.
It appears that myself and, presumably, S. Heenan didn't actually read the
firewall pop-up closely enough. I discovered this when I tried to run MS
Frontpage. The message poped up again and I read it a little closer. It is
asking permission for the program to accept INCOMING transmissions so it had
nothing at all to do with outgoing protection.
That's a bummer but at least I got to the bottom of it.
