No really. What is it with the Windows Vista Firewall and its refusal to go away? At NeoSmart Technologies all our PCs are secured behind two firewalls: a hardware firewall and Microsoft ISA Server. The only traffic that gets in is the traffic that we want to get in. Now we can appreciate having the firewall on by default; but after turning it off over 20 times, it’s getting to be too much.
I say welcome to Windows Vista… it’s hardly only the firewall that’s a pain. If you are experienced with Windows services, you will already know how to disable the firewall for good. For those who don’t, you can see the simple directions in this blog rant.
