If you don't want to risk installing SP2-beta then Kerio Personal Firewall
will allow you to specify IP ranges. I use Kerio right now. Be warned - it
is VERY anal! You have to teach it everything. I originally thought this
would be a good thing but the fact of the matter is that no one has enough
time to research every IP address that your computer connects to. So I now
just say "allow connection" without much consideration as to whether or not
it's a good idea.
Thanks,
Jack
