    At first glance, the Vista firewall seems to be identical to the Windows Firewall in Windows XP SP 2. But once you learn the secret to access its configuration settings advanced through the MMC snap-in, you will be able to configure and customize outbound and inbound rules to adapt to your specific needs.

  • When you use the Windows XP Mode integration, it fails; maintains a new attempt and finally I have to cancel

    When you use the Windows XP Mode integration, it fails; continues to try again and finally I cancel it. The same newspaper for Virtual PC on the host computer has the following error message: Windows XP Mode integration error 'failed to connect in place inside the "Windows XP Mode" VM on channel 0 on the... named pipe endpoint XP, TCP port 3389 with the 0x8007274c error mode. This error occurs every time, but I don't know why he is successful a few times and sometimes fails. This question was in another post and mentioned the removal and resettlement components of integration, which I've tried, but it did not help. I also checked that I have the latest version of the integration components (v. 14.1.7600.16403). I have a separate instance of Virtual PC that I brought over my old XP machine and it was never a problem with integration. The problem with the image in XP Mode occurs also, regardless of whether or not the other Virtual PC image runs. Only the image of the XP Mode has this problem. I suspect it's perhaps a conflict of TCP port in the named pipe, but if so, I don't know how to solve. Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to offer advice.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried to reinstall the integration features in the past, but the problem has come back at a later date. A few days after I posted this request for assistance, I needed to log out of Windows 7, so I hibernated the XP Mode image. Then, I opened a session in Windows 7 and thought I'd give it a try once again, and it worked this time! I did nothing special. So hopefully that will happen in the future, just as it went and on the past few months. Enjoyed your attempt to offer advice, however!

  • Do I still need to run the Windows Firewall when I use Norton360?

    Do I still need to run the Windows Firewall when I use Norton360?

    Hello

     
    A firewall is software or hardware that checks information coming from the Internet or a network, then it blocks or allows it to pass through your computer, depending on your firewall settings.
    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.
    A firewall is not the same thing as an antivirus program. To help protect your computer, you need a firewall and an antivirus and anti-malware program.

    Norton 360 from Symantec's all-in-one security service that protects your computer and your data against today's Internet threats.
     
    Norton 360 can be functioning as an antivirus, firewall, or offer according to your settings.
     
    We recommend that you only have an antivirus and a firewall on your computer, the choice of what antivirus or firewall is yours.

  • the Windows Firewall has stopped working

    I tried the system restore to just before it stopped working

    Hi geoffrey,.

    System restore would have been my first suggestion, so that was an excellent choice on your part.  I would try it again maybe a few days earlier just to be safe, he did not start before you really notice or before, it became clear, as it is certainly the simplest answer, but frankly, I doubt that it will be more effective (but who knows - he can come back works perfectly and we are both happy, it was considered).  He also suggested that you know a little about computers, so I can provide instructions that contain everything you need but I will not go into nauseous detail unless you get stuck on a step and then you should post any problem you encounter and I will provide more help.  If you should post, don't forget to answer as many questions and include both the results of the proceedings or reports or copies or screenshots of screen that you can at the same time, so we can work on what to do then if none of this made the turn.

    How do you know if what she has stopped working?  Do you have an error message (if so, what was the full and exact message Word for Word, including all codes)?  You have more than one firewall installed on your system (like that which is part of Norton Internet Security, Comodo, or something else)?  What security programs do you use and that you have installed (all names and versions)?  What version of Windows you are using (for example, 32-bit Vista Business SP2 or other - please be precise otherwise)?  When this occurred and did you a software or a hardware changes (additions, deletions, upgrades or anything like that) since two weeks before the problem (if so, precisely what has been done in as much detail as possible)?

    Do you get this Center security or firewall Windows itself?  If you are using XP, post back with answers given that there is a limit to the options how can I cover without knowing the basic information.  If you use Vista or W7, go to Security Center or action center and check to see if there is a problem with the notification of the firewall or it's on.  If it's not on, it shows the details or links containing information about the problem?  If Yes, go to these links and copy the information and post here, so we can look at.

    Then go into firewall Windows itself (on the left side of the screen) and confirm that there is a problem.  If she too says it is disabled, click on change settings.  Make sure the firewall is turned on - if not turn it on, click on apply and then click OK and confirm that it starts and begins to work.  If it does not start, it provides an error message (If Yes, what is completely and exactly Word for Word with all codes)?  Click Advanced, and verify that all network connections are checked - make if all are not and click OK, then again try to turn on the firewall.

    If this does not work, go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and then highlight the Windows Firewall and click Open.  Click dependencies and go to each of them and make sure they are started and automatic.  Otherwise change it to automatic and start them.  If it is impossible to do, check their dependencies and do the same until you reach the end of the chain of dependence.  Now return to Windows Firewall and make sure that it is set to automatic and started.  Then restart.  When the system returns, return to the service and confirm that the Windows Firewall is started and automatic.

    Now, go into Windows Firewall and again try to launch and see if it lights.  Go to the center of security or Action and check that the firewall is enabled and works.  If so, the problem can be solved.  Just to be sure, restart and check the firewall to ensure that it is on and working.  If so, who should be the one.  But we do not know why it stopped, and if the problem may come back, then we must redouble efforts to find the cause or confirm that there is no problem.  Moreover, if the above did not work and Windows Firewall is still off, here's what you should do in any case.

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / Event Viewer and look for error messages regarding the Windows Firewall (there will be errors).  Look in system first and then in Applications.  When you find the error or errors, click on it for details, copy these details and display them in your next reply.  Well, they can help us identify the source of the problem and there a fix for it.

    We will check your system and hard disk for corruption files and try to fix it:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    , Type sfc/scannow go and let it run.  It will scan and try to the difficulty of some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  They tried to set itself to run at the next reboot.   Answer Yes and restart to run the program.  It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    Then, we will confirm this is not caused by a malware any.

    Update and run a full scan with no matter what security software you use, and remove or quarantine everything you find.

    First, try the following programs if you do not, because they can help. I recommend you download, install, update and run full scans with Malwarebytes:http://www.malwarebytes.org/ and SuperAntiSpyware:http://superantispyware.com/ and then run a full scan of Microsoft Security:http://www.microsoft.com/security/default.aspx. This may or may not remove the infections, but will probably not correct the damage caused by them. Even if they or your current AV software seem to work or indicate that you are not infected, you should not completely trust in them and must continue with the recommendations that follow (so it's up to you if you want to try them first, or just ignore all this and get help from an expert you really need as described below).

    Correctly and completely remove these infections can be complex and often require manual removal procedures (which may or may not be entirely effective either). Even if they work, I suggest what follows in any case, so that we can start it (you can ignore the methods above if you want it really is the way forward, but it won't hurt to them for trying).

    Please follow these recommendations of JimR1 - MVP compliments:

  • Code error 0x6d9 but the windows firewall is turned on

    Hello

    I have the full version of Malwarebytes installed on my computer (Win 7). My windows firewall is turned on, but I can't access "Firewall with Advanced Security Windows". It keeps giving me the error 0x6d9 code. I want to open windows with advanced security firewall for an outbound rule, but I can't access it. The Windows Firewall is enabled and is in automatic mode, but I still got this message. Is it possible that Malwarebytes could interfere with that? Need help please.

    OK, problem solved. :)

    In my case, the snap would charge because I had turned off the customer service group policy (under my personal little war against the administrators of domain). I was told that disabling GPC would not bad, if you can log on as an administrator, but apparently it can have some side effects, like preventing the firewall snap to load. The firewall service itself seems to start and work properly, though. The snap works fine if I re-enable the TPM service.

    My case is very specific and do not apply to the author of this thread, check in any case if the Group Policy Client service is started, just to be sure. More info can be found in recent posts from this thread:

  • The Windows Firewall blocks network share on Windows 7

    I'm currently on Windows 7 Pro x 64.  I use the firewall of Windows of Microsoft Security Essentials and Microsoft.  No firewall AV or additional software is currently installed.  I regularly use the many Xbox 360 to stream media content of this machine on the home network.  In addition, I set up a homegroup to share resources such as printer and fileshares with other machines in the House.  It's all working perfectly until a few weeks ago.  No direct changes to installation other than updates of Microsoft, Adobe (Flash) and Oracle (Java).  Now, unless I turn off the Windows Firewall, my xboxs can not see the sharing machine, and no other network computers can print/share via homegroup.

    Currently, discovery network, file sharing of printers and streaming media are disabled and cannot be reactivated.  Check the radio buttons on the first two, then clicking to save does nothing.  I get sent to the network and sharing Center screen, but when I check again options for change advanced sharing settings, the options are returned to the people with reduced mobility.  Media streaming from this screen says it is on (even if this is not the case), but when I select the option to change this, it says it is disabled (which is correct).  By selecting the option to turn on media streaming continuously, does nothing.  I can click constantly with no change.

    I ran the Virus Scan free from Symantec online as long as complete system scan MSSE where each is an element, and in each case, the two elements have been removed (for the threat found by Symantec) NPE and (for the number found by MSSE) the MSSE tool.  I also run SFC/scannow and repaired the problem identified.  With two comprehensive analyses of each tool, I am sure that my machine is the threat and corruption free.

    In addition, I went through the list of services recommended to 'start' and 'automatic' which was published MANY times by MANY people.  For clarity, I have all these started and set to automatic:

    o computer browser
    o Client DHCP
    o customer DNS
    o network connections
    o knowledge of network locations
    o remote procedure call (RPC)
    o server
    o support TCP/IP Netbios
    o workstation

    With all these started, I can not follow the discovery of the network, the file and printer sharing, and streaming media options running.  I also made sure upnp started as well.

    I noticed, however, when I disabled the Windows Firewall, all options could be changed and stayed changed.  I added WMP to the firewall allow list and activated the firewall.  All options have yet.  In the firwall outgoing options are all set to allow, if incoming is currently refused saying "block all connections to programs that are not on the list of allowed programs."  It is the default state of Windows Firewall.

    Run without AV and a FW is NOT an option.  Specifically, these are tools MS and should not conflict with these simple network features.

    Help

    I was able to solve the problem after a kick in the right direction of another user of the forum.  The 'general' advice give cannot solve the problem, but they are a good starting point if nothing else.  Please see this thread for the difficulty that I used:
