Dude, Where’s My Firewall?

“One new feature of Windows XP SP2 - a feature I’m sure you’ve heard about ad infinitum by now - is Windows Firewall. It’s sexier, more functional and more automated than its predecessor, the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). It’s even enabled automatically when you install SP2 and can be accessed from SP2’s new Security Center. I was a bit surprised, though, to learn that one of my clients couldn’t enable Windows Firewall after installing SP2. That didn’t seem at all like the message Microsoft was trying to deliver about security. Provide a great new firewall and then make it impossible to turn on? Something had to be going on.”
