Windows Firewall Question

J

JamesJ

I'm using a 3rd party firewall program. In Administrative Tools---Services
it shows Windows Firewall status as Started. But, in Security Center it
shows my 3rd
party firewall being On but Windows Firewall being. Off.
Why would one show Windows Firewall as Started and another show it as Off???

You can stop now. Wait for an answer to either this thread or the
other one you started less than an hour earlier.

I waited for a hour but I didn't see my post even though it was
in the 'Sent Items.'
I wouldn't have posted a second damn time if I knew for
sure.

Anything else???

Of course I'm straying mfrom th subject but I did find the answer.
My Subject was the same as another and my post ended as a Re:
to the post with the same exact Subject.

No. You used two different, but similar, subjects.

You've missed the point. He was referring to why he couldn't see his
original post. His news reader is configured to thread messages by the
actual subject, rather than by message ID and there was already a thread
titled Windows Firewall so it got threaded there in his news reader while
he was expecting to see a new thread.

I'm not referring to my 2.
My first post had a subject 'Window Firewall'. In trying to find it I did a
search in
Windows Mail for 'Windows Firewall' in the Subject. I found a post (not
mine)
with the same Subject and my post was under that as a reply.

Thanks. Sometimes my explanations aren't easy to understand.
This has happened to me before and the only remedy was to create another
post with a different Subject.
