• I can't allow an application through firewall - and security settings have been changed, but not by me!

  I can't download anything Mozilla Firefox - Finally I worked on that I need to change the settings of the firewall, and when I went in firewall, I found that all downloads of Mozilla entrants are blocked on the firewall. This was not the case yesterday and I'm not sure what the computer has done to cause this. I tried to click on the button for me to allow through the firewall, but it doesn't work - and I am the administrator and the only user of this computer. I can not get internet explore or google chrome to work so I'm stuck. I tried troubleshooting but nothing that requires an application to download does not work. It comes back with an error telling me my internet security settings do not allow me to download - but then it only allows me to change the security settings. Need help please, I really need my computer!

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your concern here at Microsoft Community.

  If you have changed some Windows Firewall settings and you want to cancel your changes, you can restore the firewall settings to the original (default) settings.

  1. Open Windows Firewall by pressing the Windows key + X , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type firewall, and then click Windows Firewall.
  2. In the left pane, click restore defaults. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  3. In the dialog box that appears, click restore defaults. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes.

• Windows Vista Firewall: Uncheck basic network layout would make my computer more secure on the Public network?

  I use the Public network a lot.  I noticed that on my Windows Vista firewall, Core Networking is checked on by default.  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure on the Public network?  I already checked in my firewall settings, block all incoming connections.  Regarding security, I run MSE, like Spyware Blaster in the background.  Automatic updating and Malware Protection are on.  My other security settings are OK.  I do not understand why Core Networking is checked on by default.  This would make an open port, right?  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure?  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you uncheck Core Networking IPv4 and IPv6 will be unreliable or blocked.

  You have a router, a firewall (today, most have them) which is excellent protection
  for your network against external influences. In addition, Windows Firewall.

  Windows Vista Networking-

  Better to use WPA/WPA2 security if they are available and you can hide the SSID that will help
  help others to see the network (note on some routers more hide the SSID)
  causes of connection problems and if they find out the name he is more useful).

• How can I change the network settings and air play setting up the itunes which is running on my laptop (windows 10)

  A few weeks ago, I was streaming of photos to my TV using my apple TV. Now, whenever I try to play music in my laptop itunes I get the error message "the airplay APPLETV device is not available," he goes on to say "Please check your airtime... configuration and network settings. "I searched for days for these parameters.

  Now the itunes on my laptop has no audio data.

  The only way I can hear the track I'm playing, is to select the option at the foot of the error message that says "use this computer for now" - this gets quite annoying after awhile!

  any suggestions?

  Thank you.

  Hello [email protected],

  I understand that you encounter some problems with the sound settings on your PC after using a home since iTunes for Windows sharing.   The resources below has some basic for home sharing troubleshooting. Specifically, I would say the software updates, cycling the power to the modem/router and check the sound settings in Control Panel to do the internal speakers are of course selected.

  Where is the control panel?

  Take care.

• Wi - Fi and network suddenly stopped... Local only (Vista).

  I basically solved my problem. I'm writing this in case someone else has this problem.  (I was without any networking capability for about a month after a failure and request Windows update several uninstals due to a malfunction stopped responding - don't know if any of these are related?)  The computer couldn't even * is * on the network.

  First, I eliminated material as being the cause.  My suspicion is that a firewall was still in force, even if I completely uninstalled my Antivirus and disabled the Windows Firewall already.  Then I tried to disable the Base filtering engine (the "Services"), and * voila! * all returned.  I immediately installed a temporary, caught up firewall on Windows Update and reinstalled my Antivirus.  Everything's fine now, as long as I keep the Base filtering engine.  Rebooting it stops all the networks again.  I don't know if there are risks to let off, but for now, I'm happy.

  ******************************************************************

  Sorry if it's verbose.  I was no longer able to use networks of any type for about 3 weeks on my laptop Vista Home Basic.  Are wired and wireless down (I use different routers to a cable and Wi - Fi), while my Office XP continues work as a champion using a router.

  Everything had been working fine for a year or more until what all of a sudden stop.

  I also can't connect to the network wirelessly at my school more (it is a laptop).

  (Note that I am not currently under any additional firewall beyond the Windows Firewall).

  Three concurrent problems occurred at the time of the failure which could be related.

  (1) I tried an uninstall of the interface software LegoMindstorms NXT after a school project.  Uninstalling shifted on for about an hour and has stopped responding.  I did a system restore and repeated the uninstall.

  (2) I noticed the 'auto-protect active"icon of Symantec AV was changed to"disabled", even if I was not disabled it and my license is up to date.  In the settings menu, I unchecked and recontroler the auto-protect of selection, but it didn't fix it.  I tried to uninstall it, and it stopped responding as well.  I did a restore and another attempt to uninstall succeeded.  Windows Firewall and defender will have to do for now.  (I'll be reinstalling my AV soon and will get updates when I am able to connect again).

  (3) I reviewed my recent Windows updates installed and found the last (KB982536) has a status marked "failed".  I uninstalled that before that failed just to see if she had caused the next update not working, but it does not solve the problem.

  * I tried several system restores, but none have set.

  I also did the following:

  tried another ethernet cable
  * removed wired and wireless cards from the Device Manager, rebooted and (allowed them to reinstall)
  * updated to the latest version of the NETWORK adapter driver by using my other computer (XP) and the copy of the USB
  * sfc/scannow
  * checking memory
  * chkdsk
  * netsh int ip reset
  * netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt
  * netsh int Reinitialis
  * netsh winsock reset
  * netsh winsock reset catalog
  * netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel = disabled
  * ipconfig/flushdns
  * nbstat - r
  * nbstat - rr
  * Microsoft Fixit "Dotnet" cleaning tool for Vista (copied from USB)
  * Micorsoft Fixit "50357: cannot get an IP addy" (copied from USB) - has attempted but * is not * run
  Tried to IPv6 without commitment, but has not helped - I finally put back it

  (An upgrade to Windows 7 can solve the problem, but this isn't an option I will consider for now.)

  Your settings do not look correct to me.  There is no default gateway (which alone explains why you can't connect).  Good number of other entries look right either (they are different, that I'm used to seeing).

  I suggest you remove all your network connections (remove them all) and start from scratch.  Configuration of the LAN connection, and when you get this work then set up the internet connection and get this to work.  Do not re - install connections, you do not need more (it seems that you have a good number of people).  You have tried to repair these connections and there may be something wrong with them which cannot be repaired (they can be corrupted or some type of conflict or other).  Starting with a network connection fees registration with nothing (not wired or wireless) and do everything as if it was a new machine can solve the problem.  Make sure you know the correct settings before deleting the current connections (and make sure that they are correct even if you need to contact your ISP for confirmation).

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Try changing the settings of Vista firewall, but the configuration of the firewall Panel does not respond.

  I'm trying to access the port through the Windows Vista firewall.  When I open the firewall Panel and try to change the settings. The hourglass disappears and will not show the screen for changes.  So you can not close the firewall Panel.  Only way to get rid of it is to use the Task Manager and end task.  Any ideas?

• Failure of the Vista Wi - Fi networking and

  Help, please.

  My problem started after installing the Service Pack for Vista on my Satellite A200 (psaec). I am now unable to connect to my router via ethernet or a wireless adapter.

  I tried now to solve the problem.
  Installed the latest drivers from the Toshiba support site.
  Uninstalled and reinstalled the two devices (with delivery to zero before re-Setup).
  Congested DNS, reset the stack tcp/ip etc.
  uninstalled Vista SP1 and tried the above without success.

  Wired devices and wireless are configured to pick up network affecting automatically (tcp/ip v4 & 6).
  The wireless adapter can see the router and connect (reports as being "connected with limited access), but does not have an IP address. I can't access the control panel router etc. and recreate the connection does not work. I also tried to put the ip/dns address etc manually but not joy.

  The WinXP machine on the network has connectivity and the router is configured to allow the laptop to the network.

  One last thing... There is a warning exclamation on the Miniport (SSTP) WAN.
  Tried to update the driver but got the error "a section of installation of service in the INF is invalid.

  hardware and operating system
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium (build 6000)

  Quick update,

  I found that I can connect to the internet using a modem dial-up on usb.
  I am also waiting for a response from Microsoft on this one.

  Please note that all the safety devices (firewall etc. has been disabled or uninstalled).
  When I started the machine after the installation of SP1, a warning message was displayed on an old file left by a firewall zonealarm installation which I removed while the SP1 is always installed.

  Thank you all,

I have new installation internet connection and attempted to establish a wireless connection but the wireless network does not appear. I went under network settings, and there is no icon of wireless network parameters? I don't know what it takes at this point or how can configure my WiFi, that's why I ordered the new modem.

• How can I get unidentified network settings stick, private and change its name?

  I use Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on my computer at home, because my Internet is wireless usb (AT & T Quicksilver) device that can be plugged directly into my router (Linksys WRT110).  Given that the router accepts only as an internet connection ethernet cables, instead I use my desktop computer as the connection (ICS) and using the router only as a hub, essentially.

  Everything is working well at the moment.  The Office will connect to the internet and other computers and devices connected to the router (wired and wireless) are all works well and can share the internet connection.

  But whenever I restart the desktop computer, the default network is "unidentified network" and as a type of 'Public' without discovery service.  So every time I go to network settings and make it private.  It works fine until the next reboot.  In addition, I am not able to change the network name.  The field seems open for entry, but selecting and typing does nothing.

  I don't know if it's relevant, but other devices to connect to the network are laptops (of various working groups, need to be since they are mainly used to work) and a DirecTV DVR, using Mediashare (via Windows Media Server).  Yet once, they all work, after doing the private network, but this is lost at every restart of the desktop computer.

  I wish I could have it be a private network that is identified by a name and keep these parameters at each reboot.  But I have yet to find an online solution that worked for me.

  Matt,

  Thank you very much.  It worked like a charm.  I was pulling my hair out on this one for a few months.  Once again, a big thank you!

  For anyone else trying to solve the same problem, here is the summary of the solution.

  I have already had no default gateway specified.  As advised by Matt, I right click on the Local network connection (in network and sharing Center / manage network connections) and went in the IPV4 properties and put in the address of a default gateway (equal to the IP address of my router/hub).  I left the ICS settings and all the way IP addresses which I had them before (with zero in the third byte of the IP address of all and ICS turned on).  I have no registry changes.  The only change is the default gateway.  After this change, a wizard appears to allow me to set up the network properly.  And I could rename and define the private network.  And the changes were intact after several reboots.  Perfect.
