It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration. I use "Windows Defender" as my protection\firewall of virus software.  "When I go to: change options for sharing different network profiles" under advanced sharing options. I try to turn on file sharing and network discovery in the private profile. It shows that "the private sector is the current profile. The radio button lights. However, when I go to the file Explorer / network I got the message ' network discovery and file sharing are turned off. " The network computers and devices are not visible. Click here to change... " I click to change, however when I click to change it keeps returning and gives me the same message. I then go in ""network control and Internet\Network and sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings " and the option buttons in private profile for the network discovery and file sharing are turned off."

• Restriction of ports by using Windows Firewall in ad hoc network

  Hello world

  I came across this new configuration of the port blocking on an ad hoc network by using the windows firewall is enabled on a machine.

  I would do this in detail for a better understanding.

  System has set up a network with SSID 'Testing' adhoc and system B connects to the ad hoc network created by using wireless network.

  System, windows firewall is enabled and created a rule for outbound block 80, 443 ports and it works fine in the system (I could not access google.com), but when tried to access ports 80, 443 B system its not blocked (I able to access google.com) thought that Internet is shared system.

  Whereas, when an outbound rule is created in the WF system B to block ports 80, 443, and then his job very well (I could not access google.com)

  Is it possible to make use of windows firewall in the system to act on another system B which is connected via ICS.

  Grateful if anyone can provide their contribution to help setting up this configuration.

  Thank you

  If you had not reinstalled Vista, we helped you recover the product key of Vista for running old, Vista activated using specific programs.

  But, as you have wiped the hard and reinstall Vista, we will not help you recover the product key.

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  Using recovery disks is normally not need to insert a product key.
