INetFwV6Connection::EnableFirewall method
[The IPv6 Internet Connection Firewall is available for use in the operating systems specified in the Requirements section. Instead, use the Windows Firewall API.]
The EnableFirewall method activates the IPv6 Firewall on this connection. It is not an error to call this method on a connection that is currently firewalled, even though such a call has no actual effect on the system.
This is a state-changing method, and thus is subject to the access control and confirmation UI mechanisms.
