This document describes how to configure Windows Firewall on a 
single computer if the recommended default settings do not meet 
your requirements. For example, you might need to adjust settings 
if you use a program that needs an open connection to the Internet, 
or if you connect your mobile computer to a public network in a hotel 
or airport. This document focuses on:

* How to configure Windows Firewall General Settings
* How to configure Windows Firewall Exceptions
* How to configure Windows Firewall Advanced settings

IMPORTANT:  All of the step-by-step instructions included in this document 
use the Start menu that appears by default when you install Windows XP. 
If you have modified your Start menu, the procedures might differ slightly.
