Hi All,
I'm trying to help one of the desktop guys out and as there are some 
good scripters in here I thought I'd throw this one out on a line.

Is there a way to script the opening of ports (incoming) on an XP 
firewall? I know it can be done manually 
(_http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=308127_), but we'd like 
to link it into a startup script.

 I know it's an awful product and if I had my way I'd get SecureClient in.
 I also know that XP SP2 has a new firewall but we aren't playing with 
that yet.

BR and Thanks.
Rob
