3rd Party Firewall Causing Issues With Sharing Control
I've tried both Comodo and ZA firewalls.I prefer either over W7 built-in firewall.The problem I have is after installing either of these I have control issues with Network Discovery and File Sharing.More exactly,even though the system shows these two items are off and/or disabled(manually),Start>Computer>Network will start showing available computers to connect to, whereas, W7 firewall will inform me that both items are turned off.I use a public WiFi so this is obviously not a good thing.Has anyone dealt with this 3rd party firewall/File Sharing issue and have you found a solution? Is the fact that the 3rd party firewalls are blocking any connection attempts a sign that everything is okay? Or should I just stay with W7 firewall?
