Hello, I would like to add my own rule (VPNserver=xxx.xxx.xx.xx,xxx.xxx,x..x..) in the predefined set of computers (gateway, localsubnet etc..) but i don't know how to do it ?? Because i'have a number of rules to created which allow only a set of ip to connected from. Anybody get a answer for this problem thanks.

Hi, You can try these steps” 1 Open “Windows Firewall with Advanced Security” 2 Right click "Inbound Rules" select new rule 3 Select Custom > next 4 Select "All programs" > next 5 Select "protocol type" Any > next 6 Under "Which local IP ......" select Any IP address 7 Under "Which remote IP ...." select These IP addresses > Add > Predefined set of computers > select "Local subnet" > OK > next 8 Select "Allow the connection" > next 9 Leave all three ticked > next 10 Give the rule a name > finish Hope that helps.

Hello No my goal is to create a predefined set name like (VPN Servers) which containt my IP list of Servers. And to re use this set in each rules that i create. Unlike to add each ip for each rules. Any idea ? Thanks again

There is no such feature in Windows Firewall with Advanced Security It can only use the predefined sets from Microsoft: Default Gateway, DNS Servers, DHCP servers, WINS Servers and Local subnet.Ray - Author of Windows 7 for XP Professionals

Hello, I'have look this :http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806447.aspx Which the extract told me : Note: You can also define or select a set of computer from a drop-down menu that has a predefined set of computer. Refer to the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security documentation to find out how to define a set of computers from which to select. There are some existing collections of computers available already. So someone :the author of this article on technet think that is possible.

I looked for an answer to this for a long time and ended up doing it in PowerShell. If I remember correctly, this article was helpful. Basically, you construct a string containing all of your addresses or subnets, then assign the string to the RemoteAddresses property of whatever rule you're targeting.
