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
