Windows XP firewall

[wahid95]

Hi,

I want to disable SP2 Firewall for a specific PC only, i mean i want to allow all kind of traffic form some specifice nodes on my Subnet, is it possible? Or if I can allow a range of TCP/UDP ports like 1-5000 etc.
any help would be highly appreciated.

kind regards,
Tayyab

Well you should be able to do it in a couple of ways.

Just go and manually turn of the firewall at the machine in question.

Or if you have a policy turning on the firewall for all the pc's in the domain, you could make a new group that has a rule to turn of the firewall on the pc's in that group.

If I remember correctly you can't specify a range in the MS firewall you have to manually open specific ports.

Thank you for your reply.
That wasn't my question. I have asked how can I allow all kinds of traffic IN/OUT from some specific nodes to a Windows XP SP2 machine having Firewall enabled, I don't wanna disable firewall as well, i wanna disable it only for 1 or 2 nodes in my network for all kinds of traffic, is it possible?
