305110 2004-12-18 02:28:00 Heads up for a critical update to the MS XP firewall (support.microsoft.com).

My understanding is that, if you run a correctly configured third party firewall in lieu of the XP one (as you should) and have your router set up correctly and don't use dialup (as well), you may want to give this update a miss until you can be sure it does not break or limit networking functions too much.

If you have a network, use dialup and the XP firewall, then not only will you want to seriously consider applying this patch, but what the hell your doing with a network reyling soley on MS's tools to protect your goodies :illogical

Don't need it myself and can't think of anyone I know who would need it but am wondering how long it will be before MS include it in their auto updates.
