Thank You very much. Realy, I must read about it... and last question: are there eny presetting (rules) for Vista FW/packet filter? Can I import standard setup? Can I set lerning mode and close mode?

I believe the default rules are to allow all outbound, unless you block all outbound and then create rules for the outbound services you do need. I don't think Vista has some kind of learning mode. But there is some kind of

3rd party solution that allows you to set FW rules easily along with some other features the solution has..

You can check a post to MS.Public.Windows.Vista.General and Security NG(s) at msnews.microsoft.com and someone may be able to give you more information.
