Hi,
I would like to add an exception to winxp firewall through a batch file. For testing purposes, I'm trying to add AOL Instant Messenger. From a command prompt, I am entering netshfirewall>add allowedprogram C:\Program Files\AIM\aim.exe AIM ENABLE
I keep getting this message "the syntax for this command is not valid"
Any ideas? Thanks!
