I can read. What does above quote tell you? Tells me you can't find your windows firewall.

Your post is not easy to read or understand.
Grammar, spelling and punctuation can go a long way to clarify what you are saying.

If that can't be done
Maybe try breaking up post a bit
Start a new line with a space between thoughts

If you try to lead chaos here
you won't be here long

That is quite a conclusion to come to after first post and first response.
You will get much farther by pointing out that something was said as opposed to having a temper tantrum.

eg. As I mentioned in my opening post, my firewall is turned off.

If you can be polite, you will find excellent help here. If you can't be polite, or decide not to stay, don't let the door hit your backside on the way out.
