Gathering Configuration Information To examine the current policy configuration for Windows Firewall, you can use the following command: netsh firewall show configuration. Troubleshooting Applications Modifying an application to work with a stateful filtering firewall is the ideal way to resolve issues. This is not always possible, so the firewall provides an interface for configuring exceptions for ports and applications. Failure Symptoms Failures related to the default configuration will manifest in two ways: ● Client applications may fail to receive data from a server. Examples include an FTP client, multimedia streaming software, and new mail notifications in some e-mail applications. ● Server applications running on the WES- or XPe-based computer may not respond to client requests. Examples include a Web server such as Internet Information Services (IIS), Remote Desktop, and File Sharing. Microsoft Windows Firewall 21
