netsh firewall Cannot dump settings

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Hi,
It is stated in the netsh help that you can dump the firewall settings in
order to load
them via the script command.
However, when i try to dump the netsh firewall config it does not produce
anything.
Does one know which command does work ?
I tried
netsh firewall dump > c:\mydump.txt but without success.

Any help appreciated

Brgds

Thanks, but if i make a netsh.exe firewall show config > c:\myconfig.txt
will this be in the right format to import it via the netsh exec
c:\config.txt command ?

Thanks,
now what is the alternative that i could use to export / import all the
settings from one pc to another ?
would the use of sysocmgr allow the import with the netfw.inf file ?

Is there another way to do so easily (i know you can script the whole thing,
but is there a command line ?)
