    Where exactly do I find Win7 firewall(rule) setup?


    Where exactly can I call the built-in Win7 firewall setup dialog?
    I want to verify (and possibly create new) fireall rules

    Go to C:\Windows\System32\WF.msc

    Hello Peter,

    In addition, the free program Windows 7 Firewall Control can make using Windows Firewall with Advanced Security alot easier to use.

    Hope this helps,
