I have a wireless network to my PC (XP Pro SP2) and it works fine
But today I brought the PC downstairs and plugged it in with a network cable
to the router (D-Link DSL-G604T) and immediately the Security Centre pops up
with 'Your compter may be at risk' and shows the firewall as OFF so I click
for the Security Centre to enable and it says...
"the security center could not turn on windows firewall" and recommends
trying to turn it on myself through the Control Panel and Windows Firewall
I go to control Panel > Windows Firewall and it shows as ON ??!!
As soon as I unplug the network cable the problem goes away
Other PC on the network (also XP Pro SP2) works fine with cable plugged in
permanently
