I have a computer's XP Firewall setup the way I want it. Is their any way I
can copy it's configuration to all my other computers?

Hi

There is no support for export/import settings in the Windows XP
Firewall.

You can display the settings like this (in a command prompt):

netsh.exe firewall show config

For a more detailed listing:

netsh.exe firewall show config verbose = ENABLE

Redirect to a file like this:
netsh.exe firewall show config verbose = ENABLE >fw_cfg.txt


You can e.g. create a batch file and run netsh.exe commands there
to configure the firewall on all computers.

The netsh.exe syntax is documented in WF_XPSP2.doc.

Windows XP with Service Pack 2" is downloadable from
