Can't find GPO that controls XP SP2 firewall settings

[jferrante]

Hello all.

Maybe I’m just blind, but I recently installed the following:

Update for Windows Small Business Server 2003: KB 872769
“This update enables and configures the Windows Firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 on Windows Small Business Server 2003 networks.”

Now I can’t find the Group policy that defines the XP firewall settings and my anti-virus updates are blocked from the XP machines. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I’m reading through the “Managing Windows XP Service Pack 2 Features Using Group Policy” document, but still don’t see it.

Feeling blind and stupid here. Thanks,

Jeff

It is located under:
Computer Config->Admin Template->Network->Network Connections->Windows Firewall

OK, well if jferrante feels stupid and blind, I am in an even worse position, since I still can't find this even after reading Rye's response!

Could someone explaine how I get to "computer config"??

Thanks, Joe
