Re: How to TCP/IP filtering options for IPv4 in Vista?

Thanks Jimmy for your quick reply.

Now in Windows Vista Windows Firewall is UI is used for these settings. So
can I safely assume that the follwoing registry keys:
System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters \EnableSecurityFilters
System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<adapter name>\ Parameters\Tcpip\
RawIpAllowedProtocols
System\CurrentControlSet\Services\<adapter name>\
Parameters\Tcpip\TcpAllowedPorts
\CurrentControlSet\Services\<adapter name>\ Parameters\Tcpip\UdpAllowedPorts
are not used in Vista or these keys still hold some meaning?

Is Vista Firewall settings saved at following localtion or at some other
location?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\S haredAccess\Parameters\FirewallPolicy\FirewallRule s

So If I just want to know what are all the allowed TCP/IP ports I need to go
through all the rules and then find out which ports are allowed.

Thanks,
Pushkar
