Why Bitdefender firewall blocks utorrent port only on windows 7?
I'm using Windows 7 ultimate RTM with all the updates, utorrent 1.8.5 and bitdefender Internet security 2010. The firewall is set to "allow known programs" and utorrent was put automatically on "allow", but if I try a port test it shows that port doesn't appear to be open.
I had the same settings on my windows vista ultimate and the port was always open.
I've recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 Beta Build 7000 and I have Comodo Firewall 3.8.65951.477 64-Bit installed as my firewall. I get this problem that I can't solve at all .
When I click on " Run Diagnostics" I have this :
Indeed, I click "Yes" and this is what comes next :
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.
Usually I disable Windows Firewall because it's annoying to hit "allow" every time i run each of my 30-40 games for the first time. I use avast! and nothing else, since I usually don't visit "adult" sites or anything out of the ordinary. I was thinking about getting zone alarm, though.
Well I need network printing to be enabled for the rest of my family to print without having to kick me off, but for network printing to be on windows firewall must be turned on. Is there a workaround, or do I just need ANY firewall turned on, not just Windows Firewall?
I disabled my network adapter then restarted and now the adapter is no longer showing up in my network connections. How in the world do I get it back? I have looked at other options (like under the registry which was suggested on a couple of places). I have never seen this happen before. I even reinstalled my drivers and still nothing. How do I enable it again?
I have a linksys usb600n (v2) using the Windows 7 driver from linksys. It installs and is displayed correctly in Device Manger - BUT it doesn't appear in the Network and Sharing Center as an adapter. This same device and driver were previously working just fine in this system - but I rebuilt the OS (clean install) after testing a number of security products out.
The initial install went fine - no problems that I remember - just plug in the adapter and install the drivers obtained from Linksys (Ver 3.00.01.0). I tried the same thing on the re-build and it looks fine until I go into the Network Center and can't set up wireless networking since the adapter does not appear.
SIW shows TWO (2) linksys USB adapters under Hardware/Network Adapters, but does not show the network adapters in the Network Information section.
Installed Windows 7 on two home-network computers. Everything appeared to be good, including networking, but I could not access printers (linked through each computer) with the opposite computer. Windows update offered an update for the Broadcom 802.11n network adapter, but when I installed the update I completely lost the network.
I had to revert to the old driver in order to reastablish the network. But the printers still are not recognized. The network adapter on the secondary computer is a Linksys WMP300N. I did try turning the router off for ten seconds with the updated driver but that had no effect.
I've tried both Comodo and ZA firewalls. I prefer either over Windows 7 built-in firewall. The problem I have is after installing either of these I have control issues with Network Discovery and File Sharing. More exactly, even though the system shows these two items are off and/or disabled (manually), Start> Computer> Network will start showing available computers to connect to, whereas, Windows 7 firewall will inform me that both items are turned off. I use a public WiFi so this is obviously not a good thing. How to deal with this 3rd party firewall/File Sharing issue? Is the fact that the 3rd party firewalls are blocking any connection attempts a sign that everything is okay? Or should I just stay with Windows 7 firewall?

I am using kaspersky internet suite and disabled windows firewall. The problem is that turning the windows firewall off turns the pulic/home file/printer sharing and network discovery on.Turning on or off these settings starts the firewall.Disabling the firewall service permanently allows file sharing and network discovery for both public and home network,which cannot be turned off.I tried uninstalling kasperksky but nothing has changed.
I am currently using Microsoft security essentials as an Anti-virus software. Is this sufficient or do I need another anti-virus such as Bitdefender, Macafee etc? If necessary , please recommend a decent anti-virus program that offers good protection for computer viruses, spyware & malware
i was install bitdefender total security 2013 and my problem is why toolbar does not show in my ie,google chrome and mozilla...i was setting it on....and i search it carefully above browser but does not seen it....
I just got a new computer with Windows 7. My old one was using XP and I had a Linksys USB adapter for it, but it's not working on 7, and I guess it probably shouldn't. So I'll need a new one to connect to my router wirelessly, right?
My VPN does not work any more and kept getting the message that "Failed to connect for following reason :activating VPN adapter failed ". This happned after my system got hit by the Trojan "Win 7 Antispyware 2012 " and malware was run to remove it .
im running windows 7 on my toshiba sattelite L15 S104 and and i cant find a driver for my T60N871 802.11 b/g WLAN wirless adapter. its made by intel but it says foxconn with it also. ive tried toshiba.com and intel.com and still cant find it. does anyone know where i can because i really dont want to go buy a new wirless net work adapter.
I upgraded my windows 7 beta last night to the RC1 release. The only issue i am having is that now my wireless driver is not working correctly.
under the device manager the error is "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
I am using a macbook pro with bootcamp on it, the initial beta public release of Windows 7 picked up the drivers fine. For some reason after upgrading i can get no wireless though. I have tried downloading vista drivers, and just about everything i can think of. I also downloaded the Bootcamp Vista 32 Update from mac, but it did not resolve the problem either.
I loaded some software that I didn't want to 'activate online' and to insure that there wasn't any internet connection I manually disconnected the cable from the port. I plugged it back in and I'm reconnected, until, I reboot.
Once the computer has rebooted I'm no longer connected. I either have to do one of two things, one disable/enable from the device manager or two uninstall and reboot till Windows 7 finds it and re-connects.
Any time after that if I reboot I never get internet connection. If I try to load the drivers I get a compatibility error/issue and if I do a driver update from the device manager it says I have the current/latest drivers.
Edit: I'm getting the yellow exclamation, to be more specific.
Running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have an HP desktop with a Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. All was working fine until I got the automatic Win 7 critical update issued 2/15/2011. That is the only thing I can think of that changed. Now for the problem.When my PC boots it appears that the NIC driver is not being started giving me no access to my Netgear WNDR3700 router and thus no internet connection. If I uninstall the Realtek Controller using device manager then restart the system it finds a new device, the Realtek controller, and installs it and I can then access router and the internet. When I shut it off the next time I start it up again I have no access to the router.I did restore my system back to 2/14/2011 using the restore point created by the 2/15/2011 update and it worked fine until Windows automatically installed the critical update again. That is why I blame the update. Since then there have been two or three more critical updates but the problem persists. Also I can no longer go back to the 2/14/2011 restore as it seems the system only retains the latest restore points and 2/14/2011 is gone.One other thing is there is another listing under Network Adapters in Device Manager. WAN Miniport (PPPOE) it has the little triangle with the exclamation point in it. I tried to reinstall it searching both my hard drive and the internet for a driver but it can't find one. Under Properties it also says, "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" However this does not stop me from accessing my router using the method described above.
i have a windows 7 laptop and i need to install a network adapter so i can get online... i got a 2nd laptop so its good but WHERE can i get the driver so i can put it on a usb and install to the other laptop?
I bought a new laptop and I can't connect to the internet because it says "Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter."
I can try to manually download one but I don't know what network adapter I have. When I bought the laptop the only information it gave me was that is has an HM65 Express Mobile Intel chipset based motherboard. No word about what kind of network adapter.
what the network adapter driver is called for my z77 extreme6. I'm using a usb drive to transfer drivers from another computer. No. I don't have my disk that came with the motherboard.
I've recently came on my desktop and i realized that the internet connection was off it had a red XBut it was working fine before? im not sure what happened. Anyways i cannot seem to find the driver to download it nor do i know what it is.Amd Athlon ii x2 245 processor 2.9ghz4.00 gb64 bitati radeon 4200insiprion 570dell
ok i have a windows 7 laptop and i need to install a network adapter so i can get online... i got a 2nd laptop so its good but WHERE can i get the driver so i can put it on a usb and instsall to the other laptop
I have two network adpatro in win 7 one is lan card network adpator that use ip 10.1.4.100/16 Gw 10.1.1.249 one is VPN network adpator .If it enable , the IP will ber 192.168.2.X /24 .
I want to make bridge and so , the computer from 10.1.4.XXX /16 can use my computer to reach the 19.1.68.2.x . In this case , my PC work as a router .
I try to make bridge with above two adaptor . But after enable the bridge, I still cannot ping ,telnet 192.168.2.XXX from 10.1.4.xxx PC even after setup the route table .
I just installed Windows 7 Ent. (64) and can not connect to the internet due to the fact te system can not find a driver for my network adapter.I ran the DEVMGMT and it shows no network adapters BUt it shows two yellow.
I'm having a problem with staying connected to my network with my Windows 7 PC. I have several other machines running XP and a laptop with Vista none of which are experiancing the problem.Basically what happens is the network adapter drops the connection whenever there's a high amount of throughput. Streaming media, transfering files, gaming, download all do it. Browsing is totally stable but as soon as I try to download a few things or move some stuff around the network it disconnects.It's a Linksys AG241v2 with the Pheonix Firmware and an Asus Crosshair in the PC. I've tried sifting through the forums but none of the solutions have worked so far.
