Network and personal firewalls

If the firewall on my Access Point / router (Linksys WRT54G) is active, do I have to activate the personal firewall (Windows XP or Vista, or McAfee Firewall) on each computer on my LAN?

Thank you.

I'd do it. Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]

  • management network and vCenter

    Hello

    Should I put the vCenter on the same network as the hospitality of ESXi management?

    Now I have standard vSwitch0 configured with vmkernel port = vMotion vmkernel port = network management... im wondering if I should also create v vmnetwork for example the Mgmt network name as seen in the photo.

    I've never had problems, but I assume that from a security perspective, there is more to routed traffic otherwise on this subnet.  I have been a long time and never considered that it was essential.  In any way is ok, but I never ran on the management network and personally do not feel the need to put it out there.

    What happens if you have several subnets management? IE in my case that we have a different management of networks for some of our groups and therefore VCenter was impossible on both.  I'm surprised they put this in the documentation.

    Wi - Fi networks will be displayed in the menu OS X Wi - Fi, including those created by other Apple routers. It's normal. It does not necessarily indicate that users connected to these networks can connect to yours. In particular, if you use a wireless password and change it often.

  • Comments of print with extreme network and printer HP Envy 4520

    Project night and I have people coming. My comments and personal networks are set up. I have an extreme Airpot and a range of printers HP 4520. Is there a way that my guests and I can print from here. Other then to move networks back on my printer? I tell myself that I'm asking here before I ask HP. I seem to get better answers here. Thanks for any idea!

    Users connected to the network 'Guest' cannot 'see' all devices in the 'hand' or 'private '.  Only "see you" each other and connect to the Internet.

    Same thing for users on the hand, or a private network.

    If you want a user on the network to be able to print, then you will need to install a printer wireless network reviews.

    If users on the main network and the guest network printing, then you need a printer for each network.

    A Dingo workaround solution would be to ask him to send you an email with an attachment that you can print and give back their.

  • Bluetooth network and Internet connection sharing problem

    I am putting in place a network via Bluetooth between two computers later with Toshiba Stack installed and to share the Internet connection with the second computer.

    On the computer of trees I put Internet connection sharing, and for this reason, it automatically assigns addresses TCP/IP for the Bluetooth Personal Area network (192.168.0.1).
    On computer 2, I put everything to get it automatically. Firewall (Kaspersky) disabled.

    When I connect 2 Bluetooth devices, everything looks fine, the 2nd automatically gets the IP address, I can ping both computers and Internet works also on the 2nd computer, for a few seconds! After that, it appears as the 2nd computer is disconnected from the network... what could be the problem?

    In the case of the observer under the System tab, I found information like these:
    2nd comp:
    The system has detected that the network \DEVICE\TCPIP_{E44D18EB-91F5-4 adapter has been connected to the network and launched a normal operation via the network card.

    The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{E44D18EB-... because a master browser was stopped.

    and the 1st model also appears this:
    The system has detected that the network Bluetooth adapter... Area Network - Packet Scheduler Miniport has been disconnected from the network, and the network adapter configuration has been released. If the network adapter was not disconnected, this may indicate that it has malfunctioned. Please contact your vendor for updated drivers.

    In your case, I would look at the following Web site:
    http://APS.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/redirect.php?page=pages/HOWTO.html
    It lists the following document:
    "Internet on PDA via PAN using Notepad as a gateway."
    In your case, the PDA is another laptop, but the procedure should be very similar.
    I would check the firewall settings later if it still does not work.

    The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. In this way you
    get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of some
    more security between you and the Internet. Next, you set up your wireless network
    network in any security, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Below you will find
    information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It looks like
    long but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and local area network
    sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

    Configuration of the router.

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with
    the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista may be the
    CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set
    the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet, cable for the
    connection you just put the router to DHCP (or there may even be a)
    cable choice to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you generally
    Select PPoe and enter the username and password you chose during
    initially setting up the DSL connection. So:

    1. turn off the power to your cable modem.
    2 set a course of ethernet cat5e cable (usually supplied with the router)
    the port of the router to port Internet/WAN modem ethernet cable.
    3. connect the CAT5e cable from your computer's network card ethernet cable
    one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable
    (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.
    4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

    To configure the router:

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples
    given are for a Linksys router. Check the manual for your router or router
    site Web de MFTR. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a
    browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (this is by default the router address IP, who)
    varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is left
    Blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Come in
    This information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your
    utility of configuration may be slightly different from mine.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new
    password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Enter it again
    password to confirm and click Save settings at the bottom of
    the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again.
    Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to return in the
    configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the wireless
    Network name (SSID) default to something you will recognize. I have
    suggest that my clients do not use their surname as the SSID. For example,.
    You may want your "CastleAnthrax" wireless network name or the
    as. ;-)

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes have been
    successfully, click the wireless security link which is just next to the
    Wireless settings link base (where you changed your SSID). If you have a
    Newish computer, you will be able to affect the Security Mode
    WPA2-Personal. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you
    come on all the computers that are allowed to connect to the radio
    network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you are using
    to configure the router normally goes for a wireless connection, unplug
    the ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new
    network. Enter the password you created to join the network and launch
    Surf.

    B. file/printer sharing of

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

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

    For XP, start by running the network on all machines (see Setup Wizard
    caveat in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
    (1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
    Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
    Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
    accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
    to create actions where the operating system is not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow the local area network (LAN)
    traffic as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file / print
    Sharing on the Exceptions tab normally run the Network Setup Wizard on
    XP will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt" is that this
    lights on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a
    third-party firewall or have an Internet Worm antivirus «»
    Protection' (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, then you are
    fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN
    with a range of IP addresses. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Of course, you
    substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DO
    NOT DISABLE THE FIREWALL; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
    is 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 have
    must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
    assigned to each user account may 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 start directly
    on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
    to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
    http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off
    Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not home users sharing
    directories or files of program, but you can share folders inside those
    directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.
    See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a)
    files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
    locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
    for the mftr printer 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 is not
    install the drivers, then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases,.

  • WiFi connected but unknown network and internet access

    Hello

    I think I've read enough forums and done enough research I finally post my question. My other laptop is Dell Inspiron 1545. It connects to my home network, but says unknown network and no internet access. I tried wifi and ethernet cable. The IP address is set to auto detect, I have reset the router, reinstalled the drivers for the card wifi, without success. Any ideas?

    -Taylor

    Only, I solved this problem on my Dell XPS, so I decided to share with the community.

    After the call to Dell and discover my warranty had expired (a little more than one year) and knowledge it would cost me $129 to get a response from time, I decided to go look for solutions. I found a thread of 2009, attributing the cause to a thing of access network Mcaffee. I knew that's the question because I don't personally like the major anti virus makes (they tend to pull up of stunts like this) so I had ripped my PC McAfee, as soon as I started. But this thread has helped me understand how to solve this problem.

    The problem seems to be an Agent of network access Protection on your system configuration (your start up programs). Make sure it is off. It wouldn't hurt also to try to disable the Internet Explorer ETW Collector Service (has a name shady so I nuked it too: P). this fixed my connection problem not identified immediately.

    Follow these steps (Windows 7):

    1. click on start.

    2. click on search at the bottom bar.

    3. type: msconfig

    4. press enter

    5. you should have a new window named System Configuration

    6. click on the Services tab.

    7. scroll down until you find: Network Access Protection Agent. It will be defined as stopped. It's normal.

    8. uncheck the box next to the network access Protection Agent.

    9. click on OK.

    10. restart your computer.

    Your internet connection should work now. If this is not the case, repeat the procedure until step 6, and then follow these steps:

    1. scroll down until you find: Internet Explorer collector Service to ETW. It will be defined as stopped. It's normal.

    2 uncheck Internet Explorer collector Service to ETW.

    3. click on OK.

    4 restart your computer.

    If these two steps don't fix your problem, go back to the Configuration of the system (Services tab) and it look for any other Network Access Protection Agent, such as Macafee named ones or something similar. Please be aware that uncheck essential services can cause pc problems, so make sure you know what you're unchecking before you do. If in doubt, feel free to google it.

    Another solution would be to temporarily disable your antivirus and firewall and see if that helps. If Yes, then you know where you need to focus.

    Good luck and hope it works!

  • Can I plug two Airport Express units with ethernet cord and have a third Airport Express Terminal receive airplay music wirelesslly? In other words, can I combine a Wi - Fi network and roaming?

    I have an undesirable on the 1st floor, connected to the cable modem Ethernet event. I want to connect that AE to an another AE on 2nd floor with ethernet cable AND have a 3rd AE on the 1st floor to receive music through AirPlay wireless. I thought that linking the two first AEs with ethernet would improve the performance of web site on my iMac desktop, which is on the 2nd floor and connects to the 2nd floor AE via wifi. The EI the first two are newer model (MC414LL/A); the 3rd AE is old model (MB321LL/A) and is connected to a stereo Bose with a mini-jack to RCA cable double cord. I tried to set up this network using AirPort Utility, but have had no success. I don't know if it is possible to do what I want to do; and if this is the case, I don't know how to set the various parameters for each AE using AirPort Utility. I've temporarily implemented a purely wireless network; Do not connect DO NOT the two AEs with ethernet and everything works. I would enjoy my plan as above, or if I hold with purely network wireless. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Using ethernet network roaming between the two floors is a much better idea than anything wireless.

    The installation should be automagical if you start with the two AE plugged in by ethernet.

    It must be configured in standard roaming with identical names wireless.

    If you have any questions... Please, just after the airport utility screenshots of the configuration... but

    An express train is probably the router? You must confirm this.

    The second express is so configured in bridge... It's on the network tab, disable the bridge mode.

    Without thread is set to create a wireless network and simply use the same name and the same password as the other Express.

    As it should be automagical when you WAN on the second AE plugged into the LAN on the first AE.

    Wireless and then extend to will also be installed enough well automatically even if sometimes it works better in a client that extend wireless mode.
