The Vista FW/packet filter can do everything any 3rd party solution can do
and more.

You should read the article below, and then I suggest that you use Google
and find other articles that are going to tell you how to use the various
features of the Vista firewall/packet filter.

there eny presetting (rules) for Vista FW/packet filter? Can I import
standard setup? Can I set lerning mode and close mode?

I believe the default rules are to allow all outbound, unless you block all
outbound and then create rules for the outbound services you do need. I
don't think Vista has some kind of learning mode. But there is some kind of
3rd party solution that allows you to set FW rules easily along with some
other features the solution has..

You can check a post to MS.Public.Windows.Vista.General and Security NG(s)
at msnews.microsoft.com and someone may be able to give you more
information.
