    Firewall settings problem


    I went to view a Real movie, and got a message saying

    "Windows Firewall has blocked features on all private and public networks."

    I did not want to grant access, so pressed Cancel. Then I went to the firewall setting, and in fact explorer had been granted access to Public Networks.

    What gives?

    The firewall did you a huge favor by disallowing Real stuff lol.

    Anyway, it probably blocked a Real Player or similar and not Internet Explorer, itself.

    I totally agree. I am using Real Alternative Lite instead of Real

    I am having trouble understanding the Fire Wall Settings window. It's possible that nothing was let through. "Internet Explorer" is listed without a check mark to the left of it, but there is a checkmark all the way to the left under the Public Networks column.
