Windows 7 Firewall Won't Allow SSH Or FTP?
Jun 24, 2009
I've got an issue that's been driving me crazy. I've installed MobaSSH and the windows firewall absolutely refuses to let it through. I've taken down the firewall and everything works fine, so I know its the firewall. Same problem with a Serv-u FTP server but I'm not as worried about that as I am the SSH server. MobaSSH adds itself as a service, so while it was running I found the process and made sure that it was added to the firewall, I can find nothing else to add to exceptions. I haven't found much in terms of firewalls for Windows 7, so I would prefer to get this to work instead of switching firewalls

Recently had a virus infection and noticed that the windows firewall service is missing. When trying to reset to recommended settings by using control panel received error code 0x80070424. Cannot access other computers or shared files/folders on home network. Saw a previous post dated 12-17 that appears to be the same problem.

Indeed, I click "Yes" and this is what comes next :
PS : The Windows 7 Firewall is desactivated!
Anybody haves an idea on this problem, please ?

I'm having some problems with windows' firewall. Last night I tried to set up a simple ftp server (to share a couple of folders, and access that folder through other computers connected to the network by typing the IP address into a browser/ftp client on the other computer). My problem simply is, that I cannot connect to the ftp. It works fine when I try to access it from my computer (which is the server).
But I can't connect to it through other computers, unless I turn off Windows Firewall. I tried playing around with the Inbound/Outbound rules (disabled/enabled everything), nothing worked. I also have FTP allowed in "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall", and I still haven't managed to get it to work. Can anyone suggest any solutions?

I'm currently sharing my internet connection with another computer (both run windows 7). The other computer can only access the internet if the computer holding the dial up connection has windows firewall turned off. I tried to add an exception in windows firewall for port 80 but did not have any effect.The local area connection adapter on the computer that's holding the internet connection has the following settings: [code] the other computer has obtain IP and DNS address automatically Using ADSL modem is a Sagem F@st 800 to connect to the internet no router used, just a simple cat-45 cable (i think that's the name of the cable!)

Widows Firewall keeps popping a notification that host process for windows services Windows Firewall is blocking a inbound from WHS which I assume means Windows Home Server. The problem is I do not have a WHS so why would it keep trying to contact me?

After loading several AV programs/scanners due to trying to eliminate a virus, I wanted to confirm my Windows Firewall was turned on. When I went to Control Panel/Windows Firewall and clicked on "Turn Windows Firewall On or Off", all I saw in the "Customize settings for each type of network" window was the button "Use recommended settings" within a box called "Update your firewall settings". When I clicked on that button, nothing happened. Contrary to the picture shown in the Windows 7 Help pages, there was no option to actually turn the firewall on/off in this particular window. My intention is to simply verify the Windows Firewall is turned on after this virus happened.My questions are:1) Could an AV program/scanner program that I loaded have caused the Windows Firewall to be disabled (or replaced)? How do I know which AV programs have their own built-in firewall?2) Assuming my Windows Firewall should be turned on, how can I verify it really is turned on?

It started around 3 months ago, my firewall just wasn't working. I haven't needed it to be honest, but recently bought a program which for some reason needs the firewall to be active before it can install.All I get when I access the firewall options is 'Use Recommended Settings', and when clicked doesn't perform any actions.

My computer got infected by Win 7 Security 2012 rogue virus. I removed the virus with the instruction on bleepingcomputer. I think I removed the virus, but I cannot go onto the firewall. When I go to windows firewall, everything is disabled and thus not able to enable the firewall. So when I click 'Use recommended settings' it says that Windows firewall can't change some of your settings, Errorcode 0x80070424.

I set up a network printer and for some reason, Windows won't print to it (no error, the jobs just queues indefinitely) unless the Windows Firewall is disabled. I tried making a rule to allow outbound connections for all programs on all ports (which it seems to me should be the same as turning the firewall off), but no luck. I looked at the port the printer is using and its some WSD port, but there isn't an option to allow one of these under the firewall rules. What is WSD? And does anyone have any suggestions about how to make this work?

When I start Windows 7, the firewall does not want to start up automatically.
I've been in services and checked to see if it was on "Startup Type: Automatic", and it was.
I don't want to have to manually start up the firewall each time I start my PC. I know viruses may be one of the reasons my firewall is acting this way, but my virus scans come up clean.

Using Windows 7 Firewall Control free version, and it seems very good.
I was wondering if anyone has paid for the PLUS version, and if it is worth it or not.
Any remarks warmly accepted.

I have PC tools firewall plus installed on my system. Is it really necessary to switch on windows own firewall along with that? Because it has switched off windows firewall. I am asking this question because somewhere in this forum I read that we should switch windows firewall as well. It is difficult to go to windows firewall and switch it on every time I open my computer.

Does anyone know how to configure the built-in firewall to allow IE and Firefox for Passive Outbound FTP access Port 21?
Currently, all Outbound without rules are set to Deny. Current rules for IE/Firefox set to Allow/TCP 80 and 443/Any IP.
Cannot seem to get the Elevated Command Prompt with the "netsh advfirewall firewall" commands to allow FTP access for IE and Firefox to work.

Have a bit of a problem with my 'Windows Firewall'.
As you can see here, my 'Change settings' button is grayed-out. I don't know what to do, does anyone know why I can't access it?

How to Turn Windows Firewall On or Off in Windows 7 ?

I have noticed this problem across a variety of computers that are as old as 10 years and as new as 1 month old. Also the same happens on XP machines and Windows 7 machines. I don't recall seeing this before. It just happened in the last 6 months or so (I think). Anyways, I start the computer, log on to an user account and the startup programs start to load. It is at this point that a message appears that states that the firewall is turned off. It usually last for 10 to 20 seconds and then the firewall is turned on again. It does not happen every time I start the computer (just once a day or so). Shouldn't the firewall be the first thing to load or is there a delay with a warning message?

I have a problem, and I'm wondering how I'd fix it. My router only allows 10 ports to be forwarded, and I require more than that for the games that I play. How unsafe would it be to open DMZ to my computer, so that I could allow the ports through Windows Firewall, and block everything else? Or is there a more secure, preferably free, firewall I should use to do that?

The Windows 7 Firewall provides a basic level of protection against hackers as soon as you start your computer up. Although the firewall can be configured to filter both incoming and outgoing traffic, by default it only acts like the firewalls in Windows XP and Windows Vista, that is, it will only filter incoming connections. Configuring the Windows 7 Firewall to filter outgoing traffic is a little easier than it was in Windows Vista but is still a complex process and is not covered in this tutorial.
This video tutorial demonstrates the most common configuration options for the Windows 7 Firewall and discusses when you might need to use them. If you need to turn off the Windows Firewall for any reason, the video will also show you how to do that. Finally, we'll also show you how to access the advanced options for the firewall, although these options are not covered in this tutorial.

I used to have the occasional problem with utorrent, but now that I have gone to Windows 7, I seem unable to get it to work. There seems to be a firewall problem, so I disabled Windows firewall - which I have read is very good, and I think did allow utorrent - and have now put in comodo instead.
Then I read that if you have a firewall on your router, you do not need to have another one installed as well.
I am now really confused with all this.
Just checked and have at last got a green tick on utorrent - all be it slow, at least it is working whoops, just gone off again.
Any advice on utorrent or the firewall situation would be gratefully recieved.

restoring Windows Firewall and Defender. I am running Windows 7 64 Bit. A few weeks ago I was infected by a trojan called "System Progressive protection". I used an uninstall guide for removal but I am unable to enable Windows Firewall and Defender. I get Error 0x800070424 whenever I try to open either Windows Firewall and Defender.
I am currently using anti-virus software provided by my internet service provider, but I would still like the option of having Windows Firewall and Defender available to me.

I am experiencing issues with WMC in combination with Windows Firewall. With the FW turned on I cannot watch live TV and get an event viewer message "WMDRM-ND" Error. Turning Windows Firewall off resolves the problem. As I do not want to turn the FW on and off all the time I would like to know where I have to apply the relevant tweaks so I can watch TV with the FW on.Ideas anyone?

I've got an Asus P5W DH Deluxe mobo, which has dual Gigabit ethernet and 802.11g wireless onboard.
I'm using the wireless for my Internet connection - which works fine.
However, I also have a crossover cable plugged in to one of the ethernet cards, which I'm trying to connect to my laptop (Macbook) - so I can map a drive to transfer a large file over to it.
In Windows I've manually set up the LAN adapter and defined the IPv4 address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: blank
Then set up my Mac in a similar way (but using 192.168.1.3).
Tried pinging the PC from the Mac and received no reply. Figured it would be the Windows firewall...so switched that off. Still no reply.
I used to do this in XP without any problems at all, so there's been some networking change that's affecting this.
The network connection is defined as "Unknown" and I'm not able to change it - would this setting result in my not being able to even ping the box?
PS - I have also plugged in a NAS box using the same cable and connect TO that FROM my PC (mapping a drive) without any problems...so outbound network traffic appears OK.

I'm trying to setup a homegroup. At first I set it up on one of my computers. Then I tried to join the homegroup on the other one, but the homegroup didn't show up. So, I turned off windows firewall and it worked fine.
The thing is, I don't want to leave the entire firewall off - I'd preffer to add a rule exclusively for the homegroup. But the homegroup doesn't appear in the list of programs in the firewall settings. Is there a way to make such a rule?
