Yea, I'm not a fan of software firewalls. With a software firewall, the
questionable traffic is already touching your PC, which is the sole purpose
of a firewall to keep that from happening. You want a firewall, go get
yourself a 'real' i.e. hardware firewall. But in any event, if it is active
through AD group policy, there's not much you can do except add the rules
for the ports you need to communicate through. Even that could be locked
down. I don't know your policy. If you're a domain admin or have been
delegated authority, I can tell you how to exclude your workstation from the
policy :)
hope this helps
