  Unfortunately, the link you provided goes to answers for Windows server, not Win7Pro, but I got the idea.

  I found this statement, (that I neglected before,) on the page for the Windows Firewall:

  Firewall Windows with advanced security is designed for use by COMPUTER administrators who need to manage network security in an enterprise environment. It is not intended for use in home networks. Home users should consider using the Windows Firewall program available in the Panel.

  It also begins to help.  I have another question to try to set up the FTP, and it is to change the default port 21 to something else.  Unfortunately, even if the programs allowed Windows Firewall prompt indicates change port settings, click on "change setitings", when I do, I'm only able to enter the program of applications, not to define the ports.

• How can I put the Windows XP firewall in a port configuration 'allow all' and only block some ports?

  Without going into the details of why I need to do this, I'm putting the firewall of Windows XP in one allow all the configuration of ports and only refuse some ports I have in a list.

  I train this script via the command-line batch with the netsh firewall add portopening command.  From what I've read, if enabled the firewall denies all traffic and only allows ports with exceptions, so through batch scripts, I opened all the 65 000 + ports TCP and UDP, essentially with the firewall turned on but in a configuration of "allow all the»  I don't deny the 100 or so ports to my list that I want blocked after they are all open.

  This strategy seems to work, but the problem I waited and I now see is that svchost.exe takes 50% of my CPU time, have to deal with constantly these firewall rules.

  "From what I've seen on Windows XP, there is no way to have the firewall ON, and in a configuration of" allow all the "" because the XP firewall may not have defined port ranges, they must be defined one by one.  It looks like Windows Vista or 7 would be much easier because the firewall has got a re vamp of advanced features.

  Does anyone have a suggestion on how to realize this "allow all", deny some' strategy?  I know it's a strange use of the Windows Firewall, so let's please jump in front of a 'why would you do this incredibly stupid thing?"messages.

  Also, if it was the wrong forum (or website) to post on for this kind of question, I'd appreciate a recommendation of a more appropriate forum.

• 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:

  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.

  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 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.

  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.

• How to connect a scanner of network including the Windows 7 firewall is blocking and adding an exception for the associated program to access the scanned files has no effect?

  Hello

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and the process for adding some of my old material has been an interesting question. Who made me stuck is to be able to access my network scanners "mailboxes shared" in order to recover my scans.

  The product in question is a large format Xerox 6204 printer/scanner. The installation process for the basic print server run the 6204 as a network printer went relatively smoothly and seems to work as expected. However, the problem arises when I want to use the functionality of scan of the 6204. Scans are stored in mailbox store ' ' on the 6204 and must be retrieved by a piece of software Xerox called "wide Format Scan Service. This program essentially connects to mailboxes mailbox via the IP address of the 6204 on the network and from there should allow me to download the scans on my Windows 7 computer. Unfortunately, in order to connect to the mailbox store I am currently disable the firewall of Windows 7 altogether.

  I tried to add the Service to Scan large Format to the list of allowed programs, which gives an "impossible to connect to 6204' error. I tried to add the program to inbound and outbound rules manually, even though my experience with this is limited, with the same error. So leave the default settings in the wizard, I also tried to use the technical netstat to find out what are the ports, the software used and adding them to specific ports in the properties of the rules - all without success.

  For now, I'm stuck the point of having to run my installation of Windows 7 without a firewall to use my scanner large format, which is obviously an undesirable situation. If anyone can offer help or advice on how I can solve this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

• 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 configure the Windows Vista Firewall default

  How can I configure the default windows firewall

  Hello

  If you use a 3rd part firewall uninstall it

  or if you are using an internet security suite that includes a firewall, disable/turn off the firewall

  then that;

  1. Open Windows Firewall by clicking on the button start , clicking Control Panel, clicking Security and then click Windows Firewall.

  2. Click turn on or off Windows Firewall. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  3. Click on (recommended) and then click OK

  and you should have only ONE firewall running

  more than ONE firewall running can cause blockages of the system, etc.

• Impossible to activate the Windows 7 firewall

  I recently bought a new HP laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium. However, I can't turn on my firewall. When I go into my firewall settings in the Control Panel, it is not yet allow me to click the option "Turn Windows Firewall on or off" to the left. Now, it is stated in my firewall settings "these settings are managed by the NORTON FIREWALL PROVIDER seller application". So I thought that maybe my Norton firewall interfering with it, so I turned off its smart firewall. But I can not turn on my windows firewall. In fact, I can't click most of the options in my firewall to all settings (firewall toggle, settings by default, change settings etc.). The only thing that I can click is the advanced settings and resolution of problems. Any help would be appreciated.

  You can choose between Norton Firewall and the integrated firewall of Windows 7. Frankly, I don't recommend Norton/McAfee product then I would completely uninstall that came with your laptop and use the firewall built Windows instead. For antivirus protection, I recommend MS Security Essentials or Avast, Avira or NOD32 (commercial) If you need a free antivirus software. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Hello

  Not those who are not true.

  Low-cost 3rd part firewall software are quite a lot of problems delayed. They are all
  have compatibility problems and offer only a few improved controls. Indeed their questions often
  actually lower the overall security rather than raise. The Windows Firewall has no compatibility
  questions and is extremely secure if you know enough to work around most of the hype. Quality software
  firewalls cost thousands. Most of the hardware firewall routers built in and are considerably
  better additions for your money than any firewall software to low-cost and low-cost.

  If you want to uninstall OR have uninstalled any security antivirus/antispyware/program don't forget
  to go on the manufacturer websites and search for removal tools (these can be performed after uninstalling if
  required) or special instructions to uninstall. Otherwise it will leave causing trouble
  the remains that can be real problems later.

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

  Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
  launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
  reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

  Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
  Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

  Prevx - Home - free

  Windows Firewall

  Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

  Protected IE - mode

  IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

  I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
  (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
  right of IE)

  Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

  Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
  Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
  Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
  Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
  disabled - click OK
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

  Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
  and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
  Finish those you don't use).
  http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

  Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

  Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

  Prevx - Home - free - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD protection, working with others
  security programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back
  here or use Google to see how to remove.
  http://www.prevx.com/   <-->

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice
  http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

  Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
  would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
  (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
  never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.
