OSUKid7 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I made the mistake of doing a clean install of 2055 when I built this computer...not realizing I couldn't upgrade. So I'm still on 2055 until I have the time/will to reformat. Fun fun. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/25/#findComment-1943538 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Windows Firewall doesn't have outbound protection (stupid in my opinion considering this SP is supposed to deal with security and this feature would help stop trojans). :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/25/#findComment-1972727 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 If You want to be protected from the April Security Bulletins you must be using at least RC1 of Service Pack 2.

ciaran00 Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 And he makes fun of me for not knowing stuff :shifty: Nice screenshot that shows that the firewall is blocking the program from RECEIVING INFORMATION FROM THE INTERNET. That's inbound protection, genius. ciaran Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/25/#findComment-1978090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scumdogmillionaire Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 From http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en Outbound connections Description For typical consumer and office computers, the computer is a client on the network. Software on the computer connects out to a server (an outbound connection) and gets responses back from the server. Windows Firewall allows all outbound connections, but applies rules to the types of communication that are allowed back into the computer. For more information about what network traffic Windows Firewall allows as part of Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Data Protocol (UDP) outbound connections, see Notes, below.

tomwarren Veteran Posted April 18, 2004 Veteran Share Posted April 18, 2004 Since not a lot of info has come out since RC1 debuted. RC2 is due in early May. I think they'll release it just after or during WinHec but it all depends on the quality build. They're on 5.1.2600.2112 at the moment and they usually compile daily so you could start trying to guess what kind of build # we'll be looking at if you're really bored :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/25/#findComment-1987908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! :) You can't...think about that - it's a beta release. It will expire. At some time before that you're gonna have to either reformat your system or uninstall the beta SP2. You can't do that if you don't keep the backed up files.

the__hip Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem? - every time that I try open a .wmv file, my browser seems to try to open it directly in the browser, resulting in a long browser page of code? does anyone know how to resolve this? thanks Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/25/#findComment-1988901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
null_ Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Windows Firewall allows all outbound connections Kind of pointless to have the firewall asking if you want to allow the application or not, seeing as it goes through anyway. :blink: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/75970-the-sp2-thread-reloaded/page/25/#findComment-1988926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
