Story: SP2's firewall is not good enough
Posted by: Nick (Saturday 28 August 2004, 9:05 AM)
I think the warning displayed by the SP2 firewall was talking about the applications accepting INBOUND data, and asking if you want it to block the inbound ports.
Generally, I think MS is in a no win situation - They bring in a free firewall, thats bound to break things without the proper configuration, and they get slammed for breaking things. They don't have a firewall, and they get slammed for 'allowing' your PC to be hacked!
You've got to applaude MS for taking this step when they know the flak it will generate.
