The Windows Firewall is the default firewall software of the Windows XP operating system. The Windows Firewall blocks unsolicited request to connect to your computer to protect it. Since the Windows Firewall restricts communication between your computer and the internet, there are times that you need to adjust the settings for a specific program that requires unrestricted connection to the internet. For example, you may experience a problem on a specific program because it needs to connect to the internet but the Windows Firewall is blocking it. In this case, you can add the program on the Windows Firewall so that they can communicate through the Windows Firewall.
