Firewall settings Windows to ensure foreigners on the network cannot access the files on the PC

Hello

It is about the security for files on a PC for example, the confidentiality of stored data.

We define the firewall Windows to ensure that the files and data on the host PC are not

accessible by users on the network. (LAN or Internet). Can we get recommendations on it

users assignment. In the case where the user has even shared a file, the firewall must prevent third parties from

access to it.

Best regards

CRSK

The default settings are sufficient to prevent access to all files and folders unless you give permission otherwise.

The configuration utility includes an option to define exceptions, but if none are defined, then it's not. The basis for disable is file and share printers, when you configure this exception of file sharing is enabled. Obviously the key is to ensure that the user in question has not the power to change the setting, so must be configured as a Standard user.

  • Cannot access a file with a padlock in the icon.

    Cannot access a file with a padlock in the icon.

    I created a file using an application called TV Expert (download the file of my Cam handy Sony Hi-8 on PC). I can access the file by using the software, but cannot access the file using Windows Explorer. The location of the file is c:\Program Files\TVExpert\Movie.

    The file size is about 3.6 GB , when I check the size of the Explorer folder it sows 0 bytes .

    When I open the file using the TV Expert software I see a Pad lock symbol in the icon of the file

    I want to copy the file to another location so that I can edit the file.

    Try this: right click on the file > do you see in unlock general tab button? If so, click it.

    What happens when you try to copy this file to another location? Do you take information that it can be done by the administrator? If Yes, there should be a continue button, so click it.

  • "Due to a problem not identified, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings" when you try to change the Windows Firewall settings.

    Original title: WINDOWS firewall

    I GET A MESSAGE WHEN I TRY TO CHANGE THE WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS - "DUE TO A PROBLEM NOT IDENTIFIED, WINDOWS CANNOT DISPLAY WINDOWS FIREWALL SETTINGS. HOW CAN I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

    IN ADDITION, I USE AVG INTERNET SECURITY 2013 AND THAT THE FIREWALL IS ENABLED AND I SEEM TO BE PROTECTED.

    Documentation AVG Internet Security 2013 States:

    Recommendation:

    Generally it is not recommended to use more than one firewall on a single computer. Computer security is not enhanced if you install several firewalls. It is more likely that some conflicts between these two applications will occur. Therefore, we recommend that you use only one firewall on your computer and disable all others, thus eliminating the risk of potential conflicts and problems related to this.

    You can read the AVG documentation by clicking on this link, and see section 6.5:

    http://AA-download.Avg.com/filedir/doc/AVG_Internet_Security/avg_isc_uma_en_2013_06.PDF

    So, if you are using AVG firewall, it's wise to just disable the XP firewall for more than a firewall running at the same time can lead to performance problems.  Choose one or the other, but not both.

    I thought installing AVG would understand this by itself, and you know what to do (used to) but I do not want to install AVG to see.

  • My firewall of Windows 7 will not take the updates more

    How do update you my Windows Firewall that stopped taking updates?  Sound not to get your updates.  How can I solve this problem?

    A firewall can help prevent hackers or malicious software (such as worms) to access your computer through a network or the Internet. A firewall can also help stop your computer from malware sent to other computers.

    The Windows Firewall doesn't in any way requires any maintenance feature.

    If you are referring to Windows Update.

    You can reset the Windows Update components by running the Fixit on this page.  But if there is malware present, she will continue to reset the connection to the update servers:

    How to reset the Windows Update components

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/971058

    Suggest you download and save the Fixit.  Then configure the system before the clean boot by running:

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista/Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously.  Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode.  Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers.  If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode.  Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

    I suggest before you stop and install the updates, disconnect from the Internet, first.

  • PC Windows 7 and Vista Home Premium computer network cannot access each other

    I have an a Premimum Vista computer with a USB printer on a network with a Windows 7 Ultimate Computer.  Both recognize each other both are visible in the network on both computers) but I can not access one or the other.  Message on window 7 says "your computer seems to be correctly configured but the resource does not."
    "Any suggestions?  I need to produce and share printers.

    Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    In Vista, turn on password protected sharing. In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, turning on window file sharing and printer as the above will take care of that for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. create shares as desired. In Windows 7/Vista I usually shares its office and the Public directory.

    E. After you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but that is beyond the scope of this answer.

  • Cannot access shared files whne connected to the server

    Original title: dfs namespace access

    We have customers from windows 7 on windows 2008r2 domain. We have a couple of file hosting a dfs servers space names with file shares.

    This server hosts a common \\namespace\fileshare that is still available however 2 other \\namespace\share1 & 2 return cannot access this share when you are not connected to the server. This does not affect any clients, but affects enough that it becomes big problem being the only customer resolution of reconstruction. I tried adding and removing updates. I am at a loss what to try next.

    Any suggestion would be great.

    I found the solution myself after a lot of googling and journal of trace events.

    After you configure wsus, it appeared that our Windows 7 clients suddenly received file sync (small green icon in the taskbar) couple this with an intermittent slow wan link. The fix was all right before you disable offline files. We never wanted their first place very frustrating, but we're still learning.

    It doesn't seem to affect all clients which is what got us thrown away but hey its works now.
