Anyone using XP firewall?

does XP firewall work?

I'm just curious how many people are using XP's Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) or not using it. Is it just redundant if behind routers firewall?

we use zonealarms instead of ICF, but we are also behind proxies and firewalled routers

I've turned mine off and installed a proper one :)

I wouldn't trust the MS one, its probably a selective Firewall and only speaks to the Mother Ship :)

Thanks .. So the best part of ICF is how easy it is to disable.

When I first got XP I tried it. I noticed I could not connect to as many web pages as I wanted. Switched back to zone alarm. I am behind a hardware firewall now and will never go back.
