RE: Windows Vista and NetSharingManager.EnumEveryConnection

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Charles

Windows Vista
***********
1. Control Panel > Security > Windows Firewall > Change Settings > Advanced
2. Disable the Firewall for a Network Connection in the listbox (for example
I've disabled the Firewall for a VPN connection).

Under General, the Windows Firewall is always On.


Windows XP SP2
************
1. Control Panel > Windows Firewall > Advanced
2. Disable the Firewall for a Network Connection in the listbox (for example
I've disabled the Firewall for a VPN connection).

Under General, the Windows Firewall is always On.


So the following code tell me always, that the Windows Firewall is enabled,
although I have the Fiewall disabled for a specific connection!

(http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/enable_disable_firewall.asp).
==================================================
Dim oINetFwMgr As NetFwTypeLib.INetFwMgr
Dim NetFwMgrObject As Object
Dim NetFwMgrType As Type

' Use the COM CLSID to get the associated .NET System.Type
NetFwMgrType = Type.GetTypeFromCLSID( _
New Guid("{304CE942-6E39-40D8-943A-B913C40C9CD4}"))

' Create an instance of the object
NetFwMgrObject = Activator.CreateInstance(NetFwMgrType)
oINetFwMgr = NetFwMgrObject

Dim oINetPolicy As NetFwTypeLib.INetFwPolicy
Dim oINetFwMgr As NetFwTypeLib.INetFwMgr
Dim fwProfile As NetFwTypeLib.INetFwProfile
fwProfile = oINetFwMgr.LocalPolicy.CurrentProfile
If(fwProfile.FirewalEnabled = True) then
........
Else
........
End If
