5. On the Services tab, click Add.
Windows displays the Service Settings dialog box.
6. Type a description of the service.
7. If the computer on which you are configuring Windows Firewall is an ICS host,
you can configure Windows Firewall to forward traffic for the port to a particular
computer on the network by typing that computer’s IP address. If the computer is
not an ICS host, you should enter the IP address for the local computer.
Tip Instead of entering the IP address for the local computer, you can also use the loopback
address 127.0.0.1, which always refers to the local computer. This is useful should the
IP address of the local computer change.
