XP SP2 netfw.inf issues

Subject: XP SP2 netfw.inf issues
Date: Sat, 9 Apr 2005 16:52:10 +0200
Hello,

I have installed xp sp2 on a computer member of an NT Domain and customized
the Netfw.inf file manually but after installing the INF file on the
computer, I am experiencing the following issues:

-       When xp sp2 computer are members of a NT Domain, the domainprofile
is not used and only the standardprofile is used! I have tested with Active
directory and there no issue.
-       On the Custom scope list, there is limitation of numbers of IP
subnets and addresses one can put there! When you reach 12 or 15 Subnets, it
does not work and it deactivates the related Exceptions/ports thus causing
several troubles. This is not documented by Microsoft.

It seems like there are several problem related to the core concept of the
XP SP2 Firewall and the usage of the Netfw.inf related to Domainprofiles and
Custom subnets Scope list limitation.

Does anyone know about this?

Regards
Serge

NTBugtraq Editor's Note:

Most viruses these days use spoofed email addresses. As such, using an 
Anti-Virus product which automatically notifies the perceived sender of a 
message it believes is infected may well cause more harm than good. Someone who 
did not actually send you a virus may receive the notification and scramble 
their support staff to find an infection which never existed in the first 
place. Suggest such notifications be disabled by whomever is responsible for 
your AV, or at least that the idea is considered.
