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.
