Modern operating systems are endowed with powerful enough tools designed to protect personal computers. Sometimes these functions greatly interfere with the configuration of a certain type of local area network.
Instructions
Step 1
To disable security policy on a specific computer while running Windows Seven, follow these steps. Open the start menu and go to the control panel. Open the User Accounts submenu. Select "Change User Account Control". Move the slider to Never Notify. Click the "OK" button to save the specified settings.
Step 2
If you are using Windows XP, then open the User Accounts menu located in the Control Panel. Proceed to Turn User Account Control On and Off. In the menu that appears, uncheck the box next to "Use User Account Control to protect your computer." Save changes and restart your computer. Remember that it is much easier to sometimes confirm the launch of certain applications than to fix the system errors that they caused.
Step 3
Disable your computer's protection settings so that other users can connect to it. Open the "Administration" menu and go to the "Services" item. Find the item "Windows Firewall" and click on it with the right mouse button. Select Properties. In the menu that opens, find the "Startup type" item. Set it to Disabled. Return to the "Services" menu, again right-click on the "Firewall" item and select "Stop".
Step 4
If you are using an additional program that monitors network connections, then disable it or create a specific rule. Typically, you need to specify a range of internal IP addresses whose owners are allowed full access to this computer.
Step 5
Check your antivirus software. Modern antiviruses include a built-in firewall. Disable it. Set the startup type of this function to "Manual" to prevent unwanted activation.
