I am not able to connect to the innernet if my firewall is on..... If I take it off I can connect..... If I put it back on I loose my innernet connection... How do I rectify this please... thanks Hi, Allow the HTTP ports for both the TCP and UDP. or else follow the below thread replied by linkanyway_pt or else remove the deny access given for HTTP on firewall.. it should work on either way. Let us know the result.

Hi, To check the port 80 and add Internet Explorer to exception list. You may reset the firewall to default. Is it a client one in a domain? Are there some policies in the innernet? In the meantime, youd better check the related settings of your innernet. Perform these commands and check it again. >ipconfig /flushdns >netsh winsock reset Restore Windows Firewall settings http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Restore-Windows-Firewall-settingsIvan-Liu TechNet Community Support
