A gateway firewall plays a different security role compared to a host level
firewall. Like I mention earlier, an infected PC is going to start "looking
up" other PCs on the LAN. Unless you got some IDS running, the HOST level
firewall is going to be final like of defense in protecting you.

Windows Firewall from SP2 is never going to allow an in coming process if
was never initiated by the recipient.

OK, let me back up. For most clients, I recommend set the XP firewall to
disabled by GPO. The reason is the benefit with a corporate network of the
firewall is less than the issues that can be cause by it being on. However,
I have 2 clients that to date have refused to use a firewall at the gateway,
and so for them I recommend that the XP firewall be left on.

I don't think I'd agree with that statement.  Or, I partially agree.

 

The firewall can and does interfere with some applications - and you want to
understand and fully test your company's business applications to determine
what - if any - tweaking is required to enable those applications in your
environment.

 

But saying you should disable the firewall?  I disagree.  Defense in depth
is a well documented approach, and one more layer is a good thing.  is the
firewall in WinXP perfect? Far from it (what is?).  But having it enabled is
a good thing.  It's just important to understand what requirements you have
and address them appropriately.

If you are using Windows XP Professional in a corporate environment, you
should have the firewall disabled as that will interfere with a lot of
domain things.
