Every time I boot up my Vista Home Premium machine Windows Firewall is
turned off. I have to manually turn it on EVERY time I boot up. It doesn't
matter if the WIFI I'm using is set for "Public" or "Private". How do I
change the Windows Firewall settings to turn on the firewall regardless of
the type of WIFI connection I'm using?
 
If you are using Windows Live OneCare, it disables the native Vista firewall and
uses it's own firewall.

Or if the OP has another third-party security suite such as Norton or
McAfee.

I have the same situation. It only happened about 2 weeks ago without my
installing any new softwear.
Could it be due to one of the security updates ?

Are you running Windows Live OneCare? I believe it disables the standard
firewall, because it has it's own.
 
No, I don't use LiveOne Care. My Windows defender is turned off as well when
I reboot.

Yes, Windows Live One Care Firewall was running. Which one is better, WLOC
or Windows Firewall?
