• How to configure the Windows XP firewall to allow access for Windows 7

  I have 2 Windows 7 PCs & 1 Windows XP.

  XP, I can connect & see the shared folders on the 7.  However, I don't see the XP from 7 if I disable my firewall.

  They are all connected to the same workgroup.  I removed the 7 s residential groups (that I read that this could be a problem).  I tried to turn it off simple sharing & ensuring that local settings are set to everyone, but it does not work.

  I use of Avira AntiVir to my antivirus and I see all the settings within what I need to change.

  The only thing that works is to disable the firewall.  I don't want to leave it off, I need to understand how to configure it to allow access from other computers.  I looked in exceptions and can't seem to understand.  I think maybe I need to add a port, but I do not know how to select a port number and once I did, I don't know what I would have to do on the 7 to use this port.

  Thanks in advance for the help!

• How to allow browsing the Web via the Windows Vista firewall

  I'm trying to lock the outbound firewall rules on my PC. My thought is that if there is no malicious software on my PC, I would not communicate with other computers. To this end, I really want to allow connections from web browser and to make remote desktop connections. Public profile in the Windows my PC firewall is active. In addition, all inbound and outbound connections that do not match one of the active rules are blocked. I created an outbound rule custom firewall program that allows the %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe program to establish connections. The rule is configured for all profiles and any Protocol (which probably should not be necessary). However, IE is still unable to connect. I'm rather confused and don't know what to do...

  Andrew

  Thank you all for all the great links :)  It turns out that the problem I had was the result of the creation of a firewall exception for the 64 bit version of Internet Explorer, rather than the 32-bit version.  When I changed the program that has been authorized by the firewall of %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe \Internet.exe (x 86) % ProgramFiles %, I was once more able to connect to Internet by using IE.  Once again, thank you for all the links.  I think I understand a little better Windows Firewall now.

• Could not start the Windows Vista firewall

  Hi all

  I can't start the Windows Firewall service in anyway.
  I can't open it via Control Panel, as it is said simply: "the Windows Firewall settings cannot poster because the asscioated service is not running. You want to start the Windows Firewall service? »
  I click "Yes", then he said: 'Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall service. There is no error code indicated.
  I tried running "wf.msc" using the Microsoft Management Console. When this window appears, he says: "there was an error opening the Windows Firewall with advanced snap-in security.; The Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap could not load. Restart the Windows Firewall service on the computer that you are managing. "Error code: 0x6D9.
  As it seems, I can not start it this way or the other.
  I pressed Ctrl + Alt + Delete and click on the Services tab, then click services on the bottom, and this opens the Services window.
  In the new Services window, I try to start the service "Windows Firewall". I get a message saying: "Windows could not start the Windows Firewall service on the Local computer.; Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. »
  Therefore, it does not. The service is set to automatic.
  I found another process called 'Base filtering engine', which I discovered is related to the use of the Windows Firewall service. Then, that I try to start this service, and he said: "Windows has no start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer." Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. »
  Still, I can't find a way to fix the problem. In addition, the service is set to automatic.
  So if someone could help me, give me ideas or tell me how to solve the problem, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
  P. S. sometimes, when I type things in the command prompt, I get a message saying that "the requested operation requires a rise." What it means
  ?
  EDIT:
  The base filtering engine
  IKE and AuthIPsec Keying Modules

  Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

  IPsec policy agent

  Routing and remote access

  Windows event collector

  Windows Firewall

  All of these services don't work, with each saying "Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer.; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ", with the exception of the Base Filtering Engine service.

  EDIT:

  I believe that the motor of filter of Bae is the root cause of the problem, because when I try to start it, it says "Windows cannot start the engine service of filtering based on Local computer. Error 0 x 80320009: an object with this GUID or LUID already exists. ", so that all the other programs on this service, said depedent" Windows did not start the * service * service on Local computer. " ; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ».

  Hello everyone, I solved the problem. The problem is a corrupted, file called "secdrv.sys. To resolve this problem, I had to first download the file "secdrv.sys' out of my operating system CD. To do this, you must create a partition and "mount" a file on CD, on the newly created partition. The file you have to climb is and is called: "*: \sources\install.wim. Extending .wim means a "file system Windows Image" and to see what files it contains, you will need to download what we call the "Windows Automated Installation Kit". Explicit instructions on the installation procedure and where to get this program, is here: "http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/86959-access-vista-install-dvd-files.html". Once you have the file mounted, just search the area mounted for "secdrv.sys", then copy and paste it in "C:\Windows\System32\drivers" or that where the drivers from your system. After that, restart and the BFE service and all of its dependencies should work properly. Thanks for the good help like SpiritX.

• How to remove the windows vista backup

  I have 2 drives, C: (69.2 GB) all system files. D: (65.7 GB) a backup & my data. I want to install a new s/w of 12 GB in D:, but its low memory(10.5MB) showing. I tried to delete the backup, but his does not work. I tried diskcleanup, but still the same problem persists. I checked, there isn't any extra file to D:. It's just because of the backup. Can someone please tell me, how to remove the full backup.

  Hi kisna234567,

  ·         You get the error message?

  The main objective of the Windows backup and Restore Center is to save the data either automatically in according to the schedule or manually when you want to save data. It is not designed to replace the old data with the new data. Just backup and Restore Center totals with new data every time, and would not remove the old files.

  You can backup the old files and folders to storage device as the external hard drive, CD, DVD, USB flash drives and removes the backup files of the computer. You can format the backup partition.

  Caution:

  ·         Formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to make backups of all the data to save before you begin.

  ·         You cannot format a disk or partition that is currently in use, including the partition that contains Windows.

  ·         Quick format is a formatting option that creates a new file table, but do not completely overwrite or erase the volume. A quick format is much faster than a normal format, which fully erases the existing data on the volume.

  Follow these steps:

  (a) open computer management by clicking the Start button, select Control Panel, click system and Maintenance, click Administrative Toolsand then double-click computer management. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (b) in the Navigation pane, under storage, click disk management.

  (c) right click on the volume that you want to format, and then click format.

  (d) to format the volume with the default settings, in the format dialog box, click OK, and then click OK again.

  For reference: create and format a hard disk partition.

  Hello

  You are running a third part of the internet security solution? Many of them include a firewall that is clean and disable the Windows Firewall. If this is the case, you should first disable this one before the attempt to initialize the Windows Firewall. It is not advisable to attempt to run two firewalls at the same time.

  If you have recently deleted (uninstalled) a third party solution, you may need to run a cleanup this provider of software tool to remove any debris WASTE of this program in order to activate the Windows Firewall.

• uninstall the windows vista firewall so I can download BullGuard 8.0 without clash firewalls

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas: BullGuard is telling me to uninstall any other antivirus and firewall products to prevent conflicts

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Open the control panel and select Windows Firewall. On the general tab, you will see that there are only two choices, either on (recommended) and Off (not recommended). By clicking the Off (not recommended) you can remove the firewall completely.

  Referring to the removal of Firewall Protection

  So what's the big mention about uninstalling Norton!

  What this has to do with the OP's question?
