Firewall in Xp

Hi,

I wanna adjust my firewall to use while I'm downloading music and stuff. How do I adjust the port range in the firewall Xp has?
I just recently went from Dial-up to Wireless DSL and I wanna keep my computer remotely safe. I'm using XP Home.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks Again

Did a search through the MS knowledge base. I think this is what your looking for. If not, there was some other linkies at the bottom of this page Hope that helps.

Although I agree with mbentley, you should get a router or at least a software firewall as MS is not known for making good quality stuff.

honestly the built in xp firewall isnt really very secure at all, if you want something a little more secure with more features check out zone alarm or tiny firewalls. Believe it or not now adays I dont think that is enough I use a good router with a hardware firewall and NAT. That's what I would recommend, I've gotten hacked before I had my router, it does happen..
