Did you know? If you access the Internet without having a firewall
turned on, your computer could be attacked by hackers, viruses,
spyware and adware.
You should at least have a software-based firewall installed on
your computers and turned on, before making the connection to the
Internet. The best Internet protection you can get for computers
is a hardware-based firewall, also known as a router. Routers hide
your computers from the Internet by implementing network address
translation (NAT).
Occassionally, you will need to turn off the firewall to find out
if it is the cause of problems with your network or internet access.
Be sure to turn the firewall back on as soon as the problem is solved.
Do not stay connected to the Internet for
long periods of time while the firewall is off! If you
discover the firewall is blocking access to your network resources
or the Internet, then you will need to properly configure the firewall
to allow access to your resources. The Windows Firewall does not
provide an easy method for directly configuring it for network access.
You will need to run the Network Setup Wizard and hope that all
goes well. You may need to repeatedly run the Network Setup Wizard,
to get the Windows Firewall to allow access to your network resources
(shared folders/files and Internet connection). If all attempts
fail using the Network Setup Wizard, then turn off the Windows Firewall,
access any of the shared folders on the other computers, and while
connected to the other computers turn on the Windows Firewall. It
seems that the Windows Firewall is intended for use on only one
computer that is not connected to any other computers, because on
a stand-alone computer the Windows Firewall provides excellent protection,
but on multiple computers on a network it causes many problems.
If you have two or more computers–and intend to share resources
between them by networking them together, you should consider acquiring
a more professional firewall solution.
Follow the steps below to turn off the Windows Firewall.
