How to setup windows 2003 firewall on Plesk 7.6

[dkirin]

Hello,
Can someone please give me best suggestion what i should lock down on Plesk 7.6 firewall. When I click on Server\IP Addresses\Firewall\General or ICMP...etc I'm not sure what to lock down. I make all settings to "Default". What should I lock down on these two firewall to prevent spams, virus, and hacking? I setup "Local Area Connection" firewall to default. Please advice...

Please read documentation about ports using and open only required ports.

Hi Dkirin,

Don't configure the firewall via plesk. Instead do it via Windows control panel > firewall and add the ports and exceptions etc. Let me know if you need any help with these settings.

Cheers,

Mark

I would like to know more about these settings? I can not find any details about the windows firewall settings. Any help would be great.
