Windows Firewall.
During my networking attempts, I opened WF.
I look, I'm confused.
I'm not sure what to do? What not to do? How to do it?
I'm unfamiliar with the program, I'm confused.
I am familiar with ZoneAlarm. I have a pretty good feel for how it works. Even if I didn't have knowledge of it, I don't feel it would be too difficult to work my way through it.
But with WF, I'm simply confused. So in my confusion, during my attempts to network, the easiest thing I can do, is to turn it off. So I did.
And that did happen to work. And so I turned it back on. And my network continued to work. And at this point, that the extent of my knowledge of WF.
On initial inspection, its' interface looks daunting.
Somewhere down the line, when I have time to play around, I'll look at WF. But at this point in time, all I want to do is get my network working. I don't want to have to concern myself with the workings of a (confusing to me) firewall.
