The firewall is configured using the Properties dialog box associated with each Internet connection in the Control Panel. The firewall can be enabled or disabled. Additional configuration options are available for more advanced users. These advanced options include the ability to open or close specific Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) or User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports or to enable port redirection. Port redirection allows access requests to a specific port on the firewall (such as port 80, the Web server port) to be automatically redirected to another computer on the local network. This capability allows a Web server on a home network to be protected by an edge firewall.
