Not at all clear. So to kind of direct it back to the question..... the "Standard Profile" in GPEDIT directly relates to the "Private" Firewall? Guest/Public networks have no firewall settings at all?

Right now I am talking about the firewall setting in GPEDIT. Screen shot attached. There is a "Domain Profile" and a "Standard Profile". There is not a "Private" profile. I think that is kind of what you are missing John. I know that when I edit items in the "Domain Profile" if directly affects the Domain Firewall. The questions is ..... what does changing things under the "Standard Profile" do?
It is looking like it directly affects the "Private" firewall but so far no one has said......

OK John. For the first time you finally said Standard correlates to Private. That is what I was looking for and you kept saying "Private" settings in GPEDIT and there are no "Private Settings" just Standard. Whew.
Shaun I have to ask... in a domain environment this is how I control firewalls via GPO. Are you saying that is no longer viable?

Yes Shaun that is kind of a given. GPEDIT just edits the computer you are running it on. GPMC does it domain wide.

What? On one line you say "You do not use GPEdit in domain environment, you use GPMC.msc". I concur and then you say no? I am a little lost at where you are right now. You can go in to the GUI on any workstation or server. I am missing the point.

That is interesting. Windows Firewall with Advance Security is actually easier to use. Thanks for the heads-up.
