Vista Filrewall

[crass00]

HI All,

Hoping a Vista firewall expert can help me here.

I have created a batch script to setup my exceptions for vista firewall (using the netsh advfirewall firewall command) and I have everything but one crutial peice.

All my exceptions are there but by default vista firewall allows everything to connect outward so they aren't very useful. I'm sure there is a command line I can use to set the block outward bound traffic but I can't find anything on the net. Currently I go into the adv firewall config and set this manually but there must be a better way. I know I could bo this with policies but I would prefer a command line option to fit in with what I have already.

Cheers

Alex

try using regedit /s newsettingforfirewall.reg

at windows xp its working

its should work in vista too however the ownership might disable u to do that
