Windows firewall. inbound connections that do not have an exceptio

[Guest grapebird715]

I am getting an error message in Windows firewall.

In windows firewall bellow windows firewall is helping to protect your

computer?

 

inbound connections that do not have an exception - are blocked.

is this the reason I cannot ping my computer from itself or any other

computer?

Can someone help.

Yes. Inbound ping is blocked by default by the firewall.

 

What are you trying to achieve?

RE: Windows firewall. inbound connections that do not have an exce

 

Hi Jesper. Thank you for your reply. I was trying to ping this computer and

others but only getting through on two of the four computers on my network. I

was also getting an error message from the windows firewall. I think it is ok

though. I have installed Microsoft windows live one care. and everything is

ok.
