Creating Exceptions
If you are using the Windows Firewall, you may need to configure it to allow certain traffic. The firewall, by default, will block most incoming traffic and restrict attempts by programs to communicate with the Internet. If you click on the Exceptions tab, you can add or remove programs that should be allowed to communicate through the firewall, or you can open up specific TCP/IP ports so that any communications on those ports will be passed through the firewall.
To add a program, you can click Add Program under the Exceptions tab. A list of programs installed on the system will appear, or you can browse for a specific executable file if the program you are looking for is not on the list.
At the bottom of the Add Program window is a button labeled Change Scope. If you click on that button, you can specify exactly which computers should be allowed to use the firewall exception. In other words, you may want to allow a certain program to communicate through your Windows Firewall, but only with other computers on your local network and not the Internet. Change Scope offers three options. You can choose to allow the exception for all computers (including the public Internet), only the computers on your local network subnet, or you can specify only certain IP addresses to allow.
Under the Add Port option, you supply a name for the port exception and identify the port number you want to create an exception for and whether it is a TCP or UDP port. You can also adjust the scope of the exception with the same options as the Add Program exceptions.
Advanced Settings
The final tab for configuring Windows Firewall is the Advanced tab. Under the Advanced tab, Microsoft offers some more specific control over the firewall. The first section lets you choose whether or not to have the Windows Firewall enabled for each network adapter or connection. If you click on the Settings button in this section, you can define certain services, such as FTP, POP3 or Remote Desktop services to communicate with that network connection through the firewall.
The second section if for Security Logging. If you are having problems using the firewall or suspect that your computer may be being attacked, you can enable the Security Logging for the firewall. If you click on the Settings button, you can choose to log dropped packets and/or successful connections. You can also define where you want the log data to be saved and set the maximum file size for the log data.
The next section allows you to define settings for ICMP. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used for a variety of purposes and error checking including PING and TRACERT commands. Responding to ICMP requests however can also be used to cause a denial-of-service condition on your computer or to gather information about your computer. Clicking on the Settings button for ICMP lets you specify precisely what types of ICMP communications you do or don't want your Windows Firewall to allow.
The final section of the Advanced tab is the Default Settings section. If you have made changes and your system no longer works and you don't even know where to begin, you can always come to this section as a last resort and click Restore Default Settings to reset your Windows Firewall to square one.

With an ActiveX-enabled browser ActiveX controls can be downloaded as part of a Web document to add functionality to the browser) , the solution may not be through your firewall, what exact problems your have with your activeX control?How to change settings in Firewall?click start, then click control panel.
