  1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type netsh, and then press ENTER.
  3. Type advfirewall, and then press ENTER.
  4. At the netsh advfirewall command prompt, type the following command to connect to the Group Policy object that is used to distribute the connection security rules, and then press ENTER:
