The Windows Firewall

The purpose of any Firewall is to manage the traffic that travels between my Private LAN and the Public Internet. A Firewall can be a hardware device, a software program, or both.

 

As a System Administrator, you need to protect the local Trusted Zones (behind the Firewall) from the Zones with no trust (outside the Firewall). One example of a physical Firewall would be a Cable Router.

 

Windows Firewall filters traffic entering or leaving your computer. The Administrator tools in Windows Vista are basic: on or off.
