• 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.

  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).

  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.

• 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:
  The base filtering engine
  IKE and AuthIPsec Keying Modules

  Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

  IPsec policy agent

  Routing and remote access

  Windows event collector

  Windows Firewall

  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. " ; Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start. ».

  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.

• 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.

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  Open the control panel and select Windows Firewall. On the general tab, you will see that there are only two choices, either on (recommended) and Off (not recommended). By clicking the Off (not recommended) you can remove the firewall completely.

  So what's the big mention about uninstalling Norton!

• Error 0 x 00000024 cannot start Windows Vista

  Original title: 0 x 00000024 (0xFFFFFA80061c9530, 0xFFFFFFFF0000102, 0 x 0000000000190444, 0 x 0000000000000000)

  My girlfriends computer crashed last night and when trying to restart it gets just past the windows loading bar and then freezes with a black screen. I tried to restart running and loading safe mode, nothing works. I've used for a disc to boot from vista and which resulted in the freezing of the same in the same place as boot from the hard drive. I managed to get an error report which gave me the following codes:

  0 x 00000024 (0xFFFFFA80061c9530, 0xFFFFFFFF0000102, 0 x 0000000000190444, 0 x 0000000000000000)

  I am reletively in computer science, have always been able to save my computers except when something physical was wrong, but it's something that seems beyond me my DIY. I succumbed in discovering what exactly each of these codes, even though I know that they tell me what the problem is. Any help anyone could give would be appreciated that the whole College career is on the computer, including all the information it needs to complete its high seminar this semester and graduated.
