Hi, BIll. Souliers is asking about SP2's Windows Firewall, which
replaced the ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) found in earlier
versions of XP.

In XP SP2, open the Windows Firewall GUI (Control Panel | Security
Center | Windows Firewall), click the Advanced tab, put a check mark
in the box for your LAN connection, and click Settings.

In XP RTM and SP1, right-click the shared network connection, click
Properties, click Advanced, and click Settings.
