How Does Your Personal Firewall Rate?
You'll either sing or cry after reading this report. Though I can't tell you how I know, trust me when I say that the results are *highly* accurate .
Also, this is a VERY good read because it goes into detail exactly how a windows networking stack works.

Sorry, the database is currently unavailable, please try your request again shortly
Or, when the DB is finally up again... check

As to the XP Firewall, is anyone suprised? wsock32.dll ring a bell? I just love and HATE DCOM.
I was suprised to see any firewall pass the LSP Insertion test.
