Advanced settings is to just use IP filtering by ports.
What you want I believe is to set it in a policy, whether Local policy,
Local GP or Site/Domain/OU GPO. That part gives you the full brunt of what
IPSec will do for you. But you also have to plan out exactly how you want to
communicate with other machines. IPSec in many cases is mutually confifgured
or designed to work with specific end to end scenarios where you want to
secure traffic from one machine while ignoring general traffic from others.
In order to do that, you have to set it up on the server as Server (Request
Security) and on the client as Client (Respond only). IPSec can also be used
for encryption in a VPN (PPTP, but especially for L2TP) scenario. It can
also be used to filter traffic such as for an IIS machine where it is used
as a filter. So it largely depends on your design and what you are tyring to
do.
Didn't Bob's articles help you out? You will need to take time to read up on
it to understand what it does and how it does it.
You can also search Google on it:
