needed XP connections

green_newbie · Oct 9, 2003

hello,
this is concerning Windows XP, and internet connections, I have a Small free personal firewall caleld Kerio Personal Firewall, and I am trying to see if anyone know, or knows where i can look -exactly- what programs i need to allow to conect out or in, in order to do all internet functions, for instance i am pretty sure i need system32/svchost.exe, in order to connect out. but are things like lexpps.exe, lsass.exe

i hope i am makeing this clear. i just don't want to leave any doors open that aren't needed you know.

Hi green_Kerio Personal Firewall,Is a good firewall
system32/svchost.exe,Is for your connection out
Your firewall will ask about all applications/ it would be best if you allow all windows systems to access the INTERNET.The key ones to allow are as follows

COM SURROGATE
DIRECT X
GENIRIC HOST PROCE
MS DTC CONSOLE
RUN A DLL
SPOOLER SUBSYSTEM

lsass - lsass.exe - Process Information

Process File: lsass or lsass.exe
Process Name: Local Security Authority Service
Description: The Windows Local Security Authority Server Process Handles Windows Security Mechanisms
Common Errors: N/A
System Process: Yes
Lexpps
Your lexmark printer does not need access to the INTERNET unless you wish lexmark to check up on your driver information of the printer
Hope this has helped you a little as it is a big subject
Here is a scan test for your firewall
