Please log in for more thread options Roger,
Thank you for your opinion. I've read some articles about XP firewall and
W2k3 firewall, here it's just a tough job to configure 2k3 firewall for me
without Security Configuration Wizard that I didn't know before. Let me try
it.
BTW, we bought several firewall software before W2k3 SP1 was released. Money
has gone :(.
