Home 32 Bit: Firewall Is Not Running, Doesn't Connect Internet
Apr 15, 2010
The symptom of my problem is Vista is telling me that my firewall is not running, but it won't start manually. Also doesn't connect to the internet (I'm using a borrowed machine here) I can see that BFE is not running and that won't start either, says a file is missing. I have tried a system restore to several different points, after quite a few minutes tells me this has failed and the problem is still there. Tried the sfc which said it fixed some files but could not fix all, wasn't obvious to me from the log what it couldn't fix.
In desperation have backed everything up I can find and tried to reinstall (I have a Dell installation disc so no option to repair) This got to the first reboot on expanding files (27%) and then failed and restored back to the original configuration. As you can see I seem to be in big troubles, (started after a Windows Update this morning as far as I can tell, was alright before that)

i have just installed PES 2009 an i could log into the Gamenetwork of Konami without permitting PES to connect to the internet! So have looked it up and there is no cross for PES in the FireWall-settings. How is this possible? Perhaps the Gamesettings which open some Ports (but ports have nothing to do with the firewall or?)

Cannot connect Vista H.P. to ADSL internet (NETIA, if someone knows what I'm talking about). The same connection and settings work for XP I have on another computer. They share the same modem, I just connect it to Vista computer or XP. Vista says it's an error 851. When I try to set up a Phone connection (like it works on XP), the only modem that's shown is an internal modem, not the ADSL one.

I had windows XP pro and i bought windows vista home premium upgrade, when i went to install it it said that i couldn't upgrade it. So i followed directions on how to do a custom clean install, where you install vista without typing in the product key and without getting updates then you pick what OS you have and do the custom installation, then you install again (2nd time) and choose upgrade instead of custom and go through the process again.
The problem is after installing it the first time, I couldn't connect to the internet, so I couldn't install it a second time. I have an ASUS PQ5 PRo motherboard and when i start up there is this thing called express gate, in express gate I can use the internet but not when i enter Vista. When I put in the PQ5 Pro DVD vista says it can't open it. Also my XP PRO may have been 64bit, and now I am on Vista32 bit and the disck wont work.
I think the internet is a driver problem, if i go to the asus website on a diff computer and get the ASUS drivers put them on a USB and then open them on vista should this work? WHat drivers do I need? Just the LAN one? Also if the Asus DVD wouldnt start up will that mean that I wont be able to open the drivers on the flash drive too?

Whenever I click the link to open an online radio station windows media player within internet explorer just says Ready - it doesn't even begin to buffer and doesn't play at all. Has anyone else experienced this recently?

I have enabled dropped packet logging in Vista Windows Firewall (Advanced Security).When I try to open the log file pfirewall.log it comes back Access Denied. I am logged in as Administrator so that doesnt seem to be the reason.

I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago. PC boots up, loads fine. Moments later, LOUD whirring noise. Lasts for maybe 60 seconds, dies off. That was two weeks or so ago. This morning, get it again. Same characteristics. Fan issue? Seems to be running warm @ the core, doesn't it? I've seen it as low as 44.

They had Norton Internet Security 2007 installed and it was really causing more problems than it was solving so I tried to uninstall it and the uninstaller wouldn't finish and Norton's removal tool (the latest downloaded from their website) appears to be broken since it keeps saying that it's expired and won't do anything. So following some instructions I found I manually removed the Norton Program directories and registry entries and reset the winsock lsp settings with "netsh winsock reset". However the Security Center now shows that the Firewall is on but when I go to Control Panel / Windows Firewall it says that the Firewall is off.
The problem is that despite having done all this any program other than Internet Explorer that needs internet access is being blocked. Spybot Search & Destroy is being blocked from downloading updates, FireFox can't access the internet, NOD32 is being blocked from download signature updates, etc.

my firewall requests access to the internet for SQL - SQM as a Server. If I am running a Client machine and not a true server. I am using local network access, but not running a web server or FTP or anything. Do I really need SQL ? I understand it vaguely but never have understood it well enough to know how important or NOT, it is to the Operating system.

I've been using Vista for a few years and I've never used a third party firewall for my internet connection. I have a direct ethernet connection from my modem to my laptop, so no hardware firewall AFAIK, and as for anti-virus, I've been using Avast home free edition with no problems so far. I've never considered installing a 3rd party firewall - I just leave Windows' default firewall settings enabled. My questions is, do any of you believe that it's neccesary to have a firewall, and if so, which do you use? How would you rate it's performance? (I'm looking for free firewalls that perform well) I've read about Comodo and Zone alarm (I believe that's what it's called) but I've also read how they are essentially useless. I'm looking for one that won't be too much of a nuisance, ex: one that’s incompatible with other programs.

"This profile was not built for this processor architecture. Please contact your administrator to get the appropriate profile for this architecture." I get that message when running my company's "sbspackage.exe" executable which should, in theory, create a VPN connection for me. Do they need to recompile this exe choosing some 64 bit option? Is this even possible in sbs 2003?

I am having trouble with my wireless internet. When i was home over the Christmas break, I attempted to forward my port on my wireless internet at home so my router would allow me to access some of my programs (the router had a firewall on it blocking these programs). Ever since then, the only place i can access wireless internet is only at my house, nowhere ele. When i go other places, I can find connections and connect to them, but i can only connect to the network part of it, not the internet. For example, when I go to the Network and Sharing Center, it will show the connection between my computer and the network working properly, but then the line between the Network and the Internet has a Red X through it and the Internet Globe is grey. When i troubleshoot, it says it cannot contact my server / ISP, and it shows that the ISP is the one from my wireless at home.

I have a windows Vista machine at home and I got one of those viruses that imitate the MS virus scanning tool. I logged off my acct and ran the malware tool I have and the virus scanner and cleaned everything up. But when I logged back into my user acct I could not open any icons or run any programs it seems that they are not recognizing the .exe files as valid. I get the error saying there is no program associated with this shortcut. But even when I try to run it manually it doesn't work. I can go into my other user acct and run all the programs fine. So my question is if I can't fix my user acct what do I need to do to create a new one but duplicate what I have now? I'm especially concerned about my email files, contacts etc. I can easily move my important personal files over I'm just really concerned about the mail and other programs I run now. Let me know if you need more info. BTW I do not have a valid restore point to work with. I have since created one in case I mess something else up while I try to fix this problem.

I've lost a magazine I had that talked of having dual OS's. I'd liketo put Windows 98 on my Toshiba laptop if it can be done. Followingvarious problems I have put Vista and all the Updates on 3 times now,so I don't want any risks. I read a little bit about Virtual PC and wondered if there were other options. Also, what happens about drivers? Will, in 98 mode, the laptop use the Vista drivers?

I just set up my Xbox 360 for wireless gaming and it works fine. What I am trying to do is set up so I can stream Music, Vid and pics to the Xbox. From what I understand it that Vista Home Premium comes with Windows Media Center and I do have Vista Premium but cannot locate Media Center anywhere on the system. Is there anything I can do to go about getting it since I do not have it and apperantly Vista Premium is supposed to have it already?

I cannot connect to my existing small home network unless I plug directly into the cable modem. Three other PC's in the house connect properly via the router/switch (all XP machines) but I cannot. I have disabled firewall, have no AV or other security software installed yet, have checked all settings

a friend brought over his vista machine (home premium 64 sp1) and it cannot connect to the net. not through ie7 (for him preferred), firefox, or this other one he has called wyzo. there also seem to be multiple copies of ie on the box (ie and an ie 64).i started researching the problem on the 'net, and found, well, all kinds of info. a little background...i have a wrt54g, a compaq desktop/xp sp2, powerbook g4 osx10.4, old ass compaq latop running fedora9, acer aspire one xp hsdpa, and a ps2, and xbox through a hub to a network bridge. all wirelessly connected. to slow ass at&t. and it all works and it's working as i post this. (itunes radio alternative/live105) so i know its not my network.so with all the info thats readily (abeit you have to sift) available, i tried a few things. the wireless portion of the laptop seems to be working. hardware wise it lights up and switches. it connected to my network fine. start ie7 and nothing. i installed firefox. nothing. "cannot find page" and all that. same with that wyzo. i even plugged it in physically to the router with some cat5. i let it try to diagnose itself and it of course cant find the problem.so i dig into google and come up with the dhcp flag thing. checked it, its already set at 1. but its called DhcpConnForceBroadcastFlag and thats for both devices. i also found info about an update that is messing people up. but the only MS updates on the machine are MSXML 4.0 SP2 (KB941833 and KB954430). nothing is checked in lan settings for automatic ip configuring.this is so odd to me.

I knew Vista Home does not allow remote desktop connection to it. I followed some online hack and install some Terminal Service hack file. It worked when my laptop Windows XP sits close to the Vista HOME PC, when the laptop is using wireless and the Vista is using Internet LAN connection. I made sure my Kaspasky Internet Security Firewall is open for RDP port. But the moment when I move out of my home, and bring the laptop to an outside network, I cann't connect to the Vista Home PC anymore. If RDP to Vista is not an option. What is the next best remote connection software that allows smooth file transform and clipboard transfer, as seamless as RDP?

I am trying to connect my new Vista Home PC with my work XP PC in order to share some files and a USB modem connected internet link (on the Vista PC). I am using an ethernet to ethernet cable which has previously worked with my old XP PC and the same work PC. For some reason, I cannot get my Vista PC to allocate any IP addresses (you can tell I'm not very good with network settings...).
I don't have a router to use as a DNS, the PCs have been in the same workgroup but it made no difference. I can ping localhost on the Vista PC. There is no nice wizard to set up a wired connection on Vista, just wireless, dialup, VPN or connect to the internet. Grrrrrr.

Vista 64 home premium is suddenly very slow, too slow to the point of programs not even launching. When trying to start in safe mode with networking, got a "repair" notice and then it tried to do a repair, saying that the volmgrx.sys was corrupt. However, the repair reported that it failed. I tried a system restore, and after seeing the "system restore is initializing" for over 12 minutes, I hit the power switch. It will start up in normal mode, but the disk activity light almost never goes out and is on almost solidly. I tried to copy the volmgrx.sys from a sister machine (two were ordered at the same time from HP), and then found that even in safe mode with command prompt, the file was protected. Is there a another way to copy over that file, or is that a "custom-made" file during the first turn-on of Vista?

I have the following problem: My Control Panel keeps using the Classic View instead of the Control Panel Home view. I checked the tutorial about this subject: I tried the second way (Through the Registry: Through a Download), as i have Vista Home Premium, but when I right-click the Restore_Default_CP_View, it doesn't show Merge (actually, I'm not sure, because I don't have an enlish version...). The other way (The Manual Way) doesn't work either, because I don't have the file HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionPoliciesExplorer. When I click Policies, it only shows one more folder, called system. The Explorer file doesn't seem to be there. I tried running as administrator, but that didn't work either.

The wireless card is a Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN. I've successfully connected to many open access points that broadcast their SSID, and have had no problem tracking down and identifying access points in range of my laptop, no matter what kind of security they use. (WEP, WAP, etc)My current problem involves attempting to connect to a wireless AP that is NOT broadcasting an SSID and uses WEP 128 bit encryption. For reference, I have used a Windows XP machine and a laptop running Vista Business Edition, both of which can connect to the AP, which resides 6 ft away. On the Vista Home Premium laptop however, I get limited or no connectivity to the network. For additional security, the AP has a MAC filter in place and I have confirmed that my MAC is in the filter. Checking the packet transmission information on the status window, it is clear that the laptop is broadcasting packets without any issues, but none are being received. Logging into the AP, it shows no signs that my laptop has attempted to connect.
I've installed the latest drivers available, and at this point am at a complete loss as to why my laptop can seemingly connect to any AP but this one. Especially since I can connect with other Vista versions, and with Windows XP...........................

My laptop (gateway) can connect to any network (public, private, wired or wireless) with no problem but no matter what it cannot connect to the internet. I've tried as much as possible but nothing resolves this error and my isp says because my other computers work fine they can't help me. I've recycled the router and the modem, tried to ping the router (unsuccessful), tried manually setting up my connection (ip address, dns, gateway), bought a new router (belkin enhanced wireless), bought a express card ethernet port, reset winsock, but nothing works! I honestly don't know what to do since this laptop didn't include a vista disc so i don't think i can wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows without paying for something i already have. If you need any further info just let me know i'll be checking my internet every hour as i'm at the end of my rope!
On the network connections page it shows an uninterrupted line to the network which it always says is unidentified (even networks with names) but there's always a red x preventing me from getting to the internet and when i do the auto repair and diagnose it tells me to call the isp or get help from a network administrator. This problem occured shortly after my norton 360 subscription ran out and i uninstalled it to install avira in it's place.
