1853.0. "enable security on nt" by SNOFS1::snod14dgp26.gen.sno.dec.com::snov14.sno.dec.com::stylianoua () Tue Mar 11 1997 06:11

AFW NT 1.1
The ip settings in NT allow you to enable security.
This allows you to filter by port and protocol. After
installing the firewall do we need to configure these?
Would the firewall do this anyway?

Andrew,

>After installing the firewall do we need to configure these? Would the
firewall do this anyway?

The installation does not currently do this for you, in part because 
the requirements for each site may vary widely (what one side wants
shut off, another might need to have on etc).   It would defintely be a 
more secure site to enable this security, and should not interfere with
the functionality of the firewall (unless you turn off a port used by the
firewall!).  Future releases of the NT firewall may do more in this area.
