How to stop win vista firewall and how to create connectivity computer to the switch

updating a previous version of windows to win 10 is not always successful as it creates conflicts
better to install win 10 on it's own

You're showing a wired connection on your network adapter, yet claim that you are connected wirelessly. The firewall has no bearing on this- put it back on (windows firewall, that is). Here is what you should do. Remove your wireless adapter from your computer and shut the computer down. Restart your modem, and after it reboots, then reboot your router. After those two have rebooted, restart your computer, making sure to use another USB port for your wireless adapter- so that it has to be recognized (again) by windows. Let me know how this plays out. Thanks..

Quick test is to switch off both antivirus and firewall in order to establish connection. Also check if there is a newer wifi driver for your laptop.

HI! all your computer is connected except for one, you are connected to to the local network but cant get an internet connection, I dont see any problem with your wireless connection bcoz you are connected to the lan, check the security settings of your browser on your windows vista, go to internet option and security, lower it down to medium security, so that you can access the internet or try using other browser like firefox or google chrome.. check your firewall settings as well on your windows vista..

go to control panel>>add and remove prgrams>>click on add/reomve windows components on the left panel.
make sure you have the system CD.
put a check mark in "networking services" and "other network files and print services" install the addtional services.
check the share volume, make sure you have given the user rights to access the drive.

If your connected to a router, is your router connected to a firewall as well.

One thing I have noticed too on Vista is even though you tell windows security to turn off the firewall it doesn't mean it is completely turned off unless you go into the control panel, select admistration tools (if you have access to it), double click on services, select windows firewall, and disable it.

Then it is shut down for good.

Sorry for the late response been busy lately, have you also tried turning off the password protected sharing on your Windows Vista computer? Since you mentioned you have a wireless router, are both computers connected wirelessly?
