Is it possible to use a VBscript file to turn the Windows XP firewall on and

off?

Hi



The VBScript in the link below demonstrates how to enable Internet Connection

Firewall on a connection, change the line

"EveryConnection.EnableInternetFirewall" to

"EveryConnection.DisableInternetFirewall" to let it disable instead of enable.



Platform SDK: Internet Connection Sharing and Internet Connection Firewall

Enabling Internet Connection Firewall (VBScript)

msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ics/ics/enabling_internet_connection_firewall_vbscript_.asp">msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/ics/ics/enabling_internet_connection_firewall_vbscript_.asp



Note that when running this script it will pop up a warning box where the user

needs to select between cancel or continue , and it doesn't look like it is

possible to suppress this warning box...
