XP SP2 "Firewall on" default
« on: August 10, 2004, 08:37:50 AM »
If you're running Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), Windows Firewall is turned on by default.

Should be of note to Web admins and System admins whose users connect to project websites and similar other web ISP type products..

Think Nilsen asked about this yesterday?

MS is going to release SP2 as an auto update patch,
Any products build on the .net framework may not work after SP2 release.. I think the auto update is a bad move.....
 
I guess we will find out soon enough!
