Hi

Thanks to have sent a response. When I go into the setting for the farewall
there are 3 tabs: -Services -Security logging and ICMP.
I have no idea what I should touch or not. Do you have any suggestion?

Thanks

I had to enable the XP firewall.

I don't see any of this ports in the Advanced tab. Could you give me more
info.
Thanks.
