Windows XP includes Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) software you can use to restrict what information is communicated between the Internet and your home or small office network. If you don't have Windows XP then this guide will not apply to you. Step 1: From the Windows control panel, open the Windows Firewall application.   Step 2: Make sure the Firewall is set to "On." If the Firewall is set to "Off," then this article doesn't apply as you're already letting all the outside traffic in without exception. Step 3: Click the Exceptions tab. This will bring up the window showing the current exceptions configured. Some pre-configured exceptions may already exist. If so, leave them as is or you may prevent other applications from working properly. Step 4: Click the Add Port button. Click the Add Port button to bring up the following window. Step 5: Add the proper settings for your application. For this example we're going to assume you are trying to run a 3inabed on the default port 4871. Pick a name for your service, e.g. 3inabed, and then fill in the port number (4871). Select TCP as the protocol. Click OK to save the rule.
