Since I was a network admin I would ping servers, etc. The firewall considered my laptop a threat and shunned it. Have your firewall admin just confirm that was not set for yours. I've often seen issues with IE refusing to load a page if the local time and date are incorrect, it sees this as a security issue.
Were time, date very much out of sync? Try the first two commands as administrator cmd prompt Just a thought, perhaps your network cable is bad? Once is a while it happens and we tend to overlook it Thanks for the replies but nothing changed - AD wise or laptop wise. Just all of a sudden I was unable to browse the internet only and had the yellow "!
We have no web filters that look at AD. We use websense to block websites based on their content or category. How could a bad cable prevent you from accessing the internet only?
I could browse everthing on my internal network. I even had an RDP session open to a server so I could get to the internet to see if I had the latest network drivers. Sounds like a DNS issue. I'm assuming your domain controller is running DNS? Unsure why that may have happened, however. It helps to keep a handful of IPs in your little black book for Google, Amazon etc so you can ping them if needed.
I did not specifically try to ping the IP because it resolved, but to me it almost looks like a routing issue. However I was the only one experiencing the issue that I am aware of.
My guess its an IPv6 issue.. You can try a 6to4 remover someone made a nice program to remove all the tunnel adapters or run with this:. I would not think this is in any way related to AD either.
Normally resetting both of those and rebooting fixes a lot of network errors. Like being able to ping out from a computer but not ping in. Or vice versa. I agree it sounds like IP related but I just cannot figure it out.
Windows Firewall rules can be configured individually on each computer. Or, if your computer is in a Windows domain, the administrator can manage the settings and rules of Windows Firewall using group policies. In large organizations, port filtering rules are usually brought to the level of a router, L3 switches, or dedicated firewalls. However, nothing prevents you from spreading your Windows Firewall network access restriction rules to Windows workstations or servers.
To do this, simply navigate to the Advanced Settings of the firewall. Open Windows Firewall and find the Advanced Settings. In the Profile window, tick the boxes to apply your rule to each of the three profile types: Domain, Private, and Public.
You may want to open a port in the Windows Firewall in order to let a specific IP address communicate with your computer e.
The procedure to open a port remains more or less the same. Action1 allows IT professionals to efficiently manage configurations for remote computers within and outside the local network. December 12th, , AM 1. Join Date Apr Posts 3, External Firewall vs.
I don't use a software driven firewall. I was told that the external firewalls like the firewall in my router are much better to use than software types. If that is true, why do see many of you use software firewalls when I read posts? December 12th, , AM 2. IMO, a combination of both will do very well. I recommend you get a software firewall, like Zone Alarm 2. Especially if you are using Broadband. Who are you? December 12th, , AM 3.
I have been hit through my routers a number of times. My software firewall stopped them every time so far. And i know that has happened to other folks also. December 12th, , AM 4.
The capabilities of most home routers with built in firewalls can very quite a bit. But in many cases they can be very or at least much more effective than they are, if they were properly configured. The issue is that most people don't do this configuration or don't know how. And with proper configuration they can be very effective at this.
The outbound side is a different story. Here's where software firewalls can shine. They can provide the ability or make it easier to protect the outbound side of things. The header provides static, descriptive information about the version of the log, and the fields available.
The body of the log is the compiled data that is entered as a result of traffic that tries to cross the firewall. It is a dynamic list, and new entries keep appearing at the bottom of the log. The fields are written from left to right across the page. The - is used when there is no entry available for the field. According to the Microsoft Technet documentation the header of the log file contains:.
Version — Displays which version of the Windows Firewall security log is installed. Software — Displays the name of the software creating the log. Time — Indicates that all the timestamp information in the log are in local time. Fields — Displays a list of fields that are available for security log entries, if data is available. The hours are referenced in hour format.
As you notice, the log entry is indeed big and may have up to 17 pieces of information associated with each event. However, only the first eight pieces of information are important for general analysis. With the details in your hand now you can analyze the information for malicious activity or debug application failures. If you suspect any malicious activity, then open the log file in Notepad and filter all the log entries with DROP in the action field and note whether the destination IP address ends with a number other than If you find many such entries, then take a note of the destination IP addresses of the packets.
Once you have finished troubleshooting the problem, you can disable the firewall logging. Troubleshooting network problems can be quite daunting at times and a recommended good practice when troubleshooting Windows Firewall is to enable the native logs.
Although the Windows Firewall log file is not useful for analyzing the overall security of your network, it still remains a good practice if you want to monitor what is happening behind the scenes. Use Google Fonts in Word.
