Well, to configure windows Vista firewall follow these steps;-
Navigate to Start > Control Panel > Security > Windows Firewall. This will open the windows firewall window.
On the Windows Firewall window you can see that the firewall is turned on. You don’t need to configure Windows Firewall under normal operations, but if you want to run applications that need to connect to the internet then you have to make some configurations on your firewall.
And now to configure your firewall to allow programs and connect to a network or the internet:-
Click Change Settings. On the settings window, make sure your firewall is turned on, click on the Exceptions tab. On the Exceptions tab you will see all programs that are allowed by Windows Firewall.
You can add programs to pass through the firewall by clicking Add Program. Click on the program you want or you can browse the location of the program’s exe file if it is not in the list then click OK. The program you have included can now pass through the firewall and can access external networks or the Internet.
Operating the Vista Firewall is not a simple process, as you have seen but it is a necessary thing to do to prevent malicious programs from spreading in your PC and local home or office network.
I got that... Thanks for sharing this procedure !!!
