windows firewall control = WFC

*****************************************************************************************************************************

the question is: So how do I get Win7 firewall and SEP IPS to work togheter from boot?

the answer is 

1.you cannot automatic enable "WFC"

2.must use another toolkit to find the destination ip address, 

3.must use another firewall program's compatible with symantec

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

the solution is:

1.use Microsoft Network Monitor 3.4 to locate ip destination. HOW?

just press New Capture TAB - followed by click START BUTTON

it will monitor when there is a new destination ip from any application on windows

2.use host files locate on windows C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

to block the website

3.if step number two failed because cannot block ip address , how about use tiny miny firewall programs  (compatible with symantec of course)  =)

Hi

In SEP 12.1 you can install the SEP IPS without the firewall component. This means you can run SEP IPS without disabling Win7 firewall or creating a pass-through configuration in SEP 11.x.
