Old Static IP Network Firewall Blocking
Mar 23, 2008
I have been trying to connect a new Vista laptop to an old static IP4 network. The Vista firewall is blocking me. It is a public IP address (I'm not sure what that means), which apparently is the problem. My IP address starts with 207.191... Does that make sense to anyone? I need to know how to unblock this address or just take down the firewall all together. I'll only be connected to that network for a few hours a week, so temporarily removing the firewall wouldn't be too bad.

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.

Since there are no Windows 7 newsgroups I hope my post is appropriate here. If not, please let me know where I should post Win7 questions. I have a new Dell netbook running Windows 7 Starter Edition. I need to configure a hard wired network connection using a static IP address and I can not find where to do so. What I am looking for is the equivalent of Control Panel | Network Connections in XP.

Defender alerts me that it is blocking some start-up programs (little yellow speech-bubble in sys-tray says "Click here to see which programs are being blocked"). When I click the alert it opens Defender, but there is no indication of which program has been blocked. How can I find out?

Windows Vista Basic sp1. Im using a 3rd party firewall program. In Administrative Tools---Services it shows Windows Firewall status as Started. But, in Security Center it shows my 3rd party firewall being On but Windows Firewall being off. Also, in Administrative Tools---Windows Firewall with Advanced Security is showing Windows Firewall being on in Domain Profile. Is this normal? Why would one show Windows Firewall as On and another show it as Off?

Can some explain in LAYMANS terms how to set up a static ip address in vista and are there any bad implications in doing so? The reason is I live in the UK and wish to join a UK based internet forum/club but they will only accept UK based ip addresses which apparently mine is not.

I have solved some of my woes. I will do my best to describe the rest of them to you. What I am trying to do is reconnect my Xbox 360 to my PC. I had this working for three months(since I have had the 360), then, I had to do a clean install of Vista. Well, almost a clean install, I quess it is a re-install, because if left a lot of the stuff I already had, just cleaned out my email and such. Now, I can connect my 360, and the pc recognizes it when I am in WMP 11 and look at the media sharing. Here's the problem. I can either connect to Xbox Live or I can remove the network setting in the 360 and I can browse the files on my pc through the 360, but I can't do both like I could before. It's one or the other. I am using a Netopia 2240 dsl modem/router. I have not changed any settings in the router whatsoever.
After I did a reinstall however, I could not access some SSL pages or recieve email( I could send ok, just not recieve). I fixed this by rolling back the driver for my Network card. The problem between the 360 and my pc existes only after the reinstall. Heres something else, win I try and ping my router it times out. And, I cant access it through 192.168.1.1. When I use the cmd prompt and look at ip's, they are all static. Shouldn't I have dynamic? One last thing, when I click on my Broadband connection and click on details, next to dhcp, it says NO. However, on my LAN connection it says Yes??? PS- can someone tell me how to take a screen shot so I can post/better explain what I am doing.

So basically, I have a Sony Vaio with Windows Vista 32 bits. We send it off to my fathers company to get an anti-virus installed. When they gave it back, I tried to get wired internet but nothing. So I checked the LAN configuration and the static ip and DNS of the company had been left there (when before it was configured to be used with DHCP as I use at home). So I tried to change it by putting Get IP address automatically, nothing complicated. I restarted the computer, but the static IP stayed, as if it was stuck. Tried the same 3 times and nothing. I am the Admin of my computer, but it seems that the OS or something won't let me change the IP address.
I went to talk the technicians in the company but they couldn't resolve it. I'm kind of getting mad about this subject, I just want to use the internet in my laptop. After trying everything (even reseting the IP through cmd.exe, which worked because the static IP was erased, yet when viewing properties, the static IP option is still selected but with no specific IP address in the boxes) I can only think of uninstalling and reinstalling the network controller. I am just afraid that the driver is not embeded within the disk (because when I bought the computer, no drivers were given to me). Before doing anything rash and messing the computer even further,

When i plug my headphones in i hear static, you can not notice it once the music is playing, but it gets really annoying really fast. I dont know what to do. I have my speakers hooked up to a Turtle Beach Montego DDL. I couldnt find any X64 bit drivers for this card, so i figured there had to be other drivers that had the same chipset......I was right. So i have different drivers for the card.

I'll preface this with the fact I am only so knowledgeable about this IP stuff. I am all my computer challenged family has to rely on so I want to be able to see what happening on about three other computers in three different locations. I am a serious cheapskate so I tried some Shareware called "Anyplace control" worked great through the online account but slow. There is apparently a direct connection option but I need a static ip to make that happen. So keeping it as simplistic as possible for me how do I get my mother Vista laptop, my two daughters Win 7 laptops able to be remote tweaked from either my Vista laptop or XP desktop. I am not locked into that software it was just easiest at the time.

I have a Static IP Address. And there is a website I want to access, but it can never connect. So I contacted the administrator, and he says I am IP banned from the site, and promptly blocks me. So I figure the best way to get around this was to change my IP Address. I've tried manually changing it, using tons of methods. I've even used the cmd method, but when I type ipconfig/release it gives me an error and says that "This action requires elevation" whatever the hell that means. I'm 13 and I am in no position to be calling ISP and asking them to change my IP address. So you guys are basically my last hope. How do I change my Static IP?

In the system tray in Windows XP there was a modem icon that lighted up when data was being transmitted or received. It really helped with a dialup connection - being able to see if the connection was active or not. In Vista, the modem icon is static and doesn't show anything other than the fact that there is an active connection. Does anyone know of a workaround to get an **activity** icon that works like the good old XP one?

I had Apache server installed on Vista Home Premium and it worked fine until the Vista security update 2 days ago. Something is blocking port 80. I ran netstat -ano and find out it is PID 4 which is System is using port 80, but I have no idea which one just added with the update to stop the service.

In my XP days I would assign each of my laptop's network adapters (wired and wireless) its own static IP address. I did this to make it easier to manage things like opening certain ports when using the laptop for gaming over the wired connection only.
Now that I have an all Vista home network consisting of a laptop and a desktop both with Vista Home Premium I am running into trouble assigning these static IPs on the laptop. The primary connection is the wireless and i use the wired connection to game or to transfer files across the network. When I go to set the IP on the wired connection I get the message: "Warning: Multiple default gateways are intended to provide redundancy to a single network such as and Intranet or the Internet. They will not function properly when the gateways are on two separate, disjoint networks (such as one on your intranet and one on the Internet). Do you want to save this configuration?".................

On my x64 box, TFS power tools was conflicting with Office Communicator. So I blocked Office Communictor from the startup sequence. As I expected, at startup I would get a message "Blocked startup programs" with the option to "run blocked program" if I want to launch Office Communicator explicitly. Good.
Then I uninstalled TFS power tools, and decided to unblock Office Communicator, so it can run at startup again. Unfortunately, the Office Communicator app shows as "Permitted," but is still being blocked at startup.
In other words, I can't unblock Office Communicator. Vista says it is "permitted", but it is not permitted at startup. I tried disabling and re-enabling it, to see if it would clear up, but no good.
How do I force it to be unblocked so that it will run at startup?

My Dad has a laptop running Windows Vista and he is forever installing stupid programs which he then gets me to remove as they have messed up his computer in some way. With this in mind, I was wondering if there is a way that I can somehow put a block on him installing new programs on Windows?

Now you see it now you don't. Here's the scenario. When I reboot everytime, the gateway static IP address disappears. I have to manually enter it again. Everytime! I'm using Vista 32 Business SP2 on a Thinkpad X60s notebook. Why does this happen and what's the solution?

I want to set a static ip and it works untill I reboot then local access but not internet. When I try to switch back I have to power down the motherboard to make it change back. Weird AAH! Its like the nic on the m2n32-sli deluxe never releases its memory untill I shut down the power supply manually.

In Windows Mail, I have the setting to block images set to on, so, whenever a message in html format arrives, if it has images and the sender was not set as trustable yet, it will block the images.
But, funny side is that the feature seems not to work for the junk emails which makes no sense at all. All my junk emails, if in html format and with images, images will be shown despite the setting.
Am I missing some other setting or this is supposed to be the right although odd behaviour for Windows Mail?

I run the Asus AI prpgram on startup. This is supposed to allow me to modify motherboard and CPU settings. However Defender will always prevent this program from running. There not appear to be any way to tell defender to stop blocking this program at startup.
