When I go to my network connections and attempt to display the properties of my dial up modem properties(my default internet connection with MSN)...so that I can enable the firewall...nothing happens. Nothing. The computer doesn't hang, no error message pops up. It just doesn't respond. I have tried several times with this problem. Microsoft had me uninstall all of my network connections and then reinstall to see if that changed anything...but nothing. I had this issue once before but can't remember what I did to correct it.
I'm running Win XP on an AMD 850 Athlon PC Clone with 512MB RAM, with a 100GB HD.
If anyone has encountered this or can offer any help I'd be very grateful.
I am trying to activate the firewall from XP. The connections tab has nothing in the way of activating the firewall there.
When I open up my network connections and highlight my internet connection(dial up) and choose properties and that's when nothing happens...no properties dialogue opens up. When I do the same on either my LAN connection or the 1394 connection and they open up to the properties dialogue, but not the dial up connection, which is what I'm using to access the internet.
I appreciate your inquiry..any more would be helpful.
I am sorry have not been around, working overtime. If you have not solved your problem yet try what I suggested. Once you get there also select Settings, Properties, and Advanced, which should get you to the Firewall option. Good luck.
