Configuring the XP firewall
To enable the firewall:
Go to start >>control panel >>network and Internet connections >>network connections
Right click on your Internet connection and select 'properties'.
Right click on your Internet connection and select 'properties'.
Go to the 'Advanced' tab and check the 'Internet Connection Firewall' box.
What you have just done is enabled a combination of packet filtering and a circuit level gateway. Your computer will now record which applications on your computer attempt to access the Internet, and examine all incoming data against these records. Any unsolicited data will be dropped.
If you choose to use Internet connection sharing as well, the firewall will handle requests from the other computers in your network as well, acting as a gateway. The XP firewall is effective at stopping unauthorized data from entering your computer or network.
