If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options Most likely you will be locked out once you enable the firewall assuming
there is no exception for TS [port 3389 TCP] which most likely there will
not be. Two possibilities come to mind. You could try using the Security
Configuration Wizard [see link below] to configure and then enable the
Windows Firewall or configure local Group Policy being sure to configure the
exceptions first. Either way I would want to test any solution out on a test
server I have access to if it is going to be a big problem if you lock
yourself out. --- Steve
