Bd 2010 And Windows 7

Hi,


I am trying to connect 2 Windows 7 PCs with a Homegroup. All attempts have failed. Eventually the Windows trouble shooter said that I should set the BD Firewall to allow Homegroup to communicate. However Homegroup is not mentioned in the whitelist. I would be grateful if someone could advise me as to how i can achieve this.


Thanks


Robin

  • Hello Robin,


    Regarding your issues, please follow the steps below:


    Open BitDefender - > from the top right corner go to Settings and choose Expert Mode - > go to the Firewall module.


    From that location go to the Settings tab - > Advanced Settings - > Check 'Enable Internet Connection Sharing' and uncheck 'Block Port Scans'.


    Then go on the Network tab - > at Trust Level choose 'Trusted Local' and at Stealth choose 'Off'.


    Close BitDefender and check if the issue is solved.


    Thank you.

  • sorry I know this is an old message, but isn't putting the network trust level to "trusted allow all" dangerous? Doesn't it mean that none of the traffic will be monitored?


    thnx
