To be honest, I have never had to use Windows for a firewall.  You can use
Windows Firewall but it can be very complicated.  Unfortunately, I can't
help much there.

Personally, I have never used Windows Firewall as I've always used an edge
firewall and simply refused all inbound connections the Windows box didn't
already initiate.

Under Slackware, I am using a custom rc.firewall that I initially created
with an online wizard then customized for myself.  It's iptables-based but
does contain some Slackware-specific functions and paths.
