(Probably not a factor, but I'll ask anyway - if you are using 64-bit Win7, is your firewall app also compatible with 64-bit OS ? ) If you are resorting to having to power off communication gear, then "something" ain't talking to "something else" nicely. In general, try to use the most minimal networking components - then you can add things back one at a time, until you identify the failure threshold. (I like to do a cold boot after changing network settings, but that's just me ) Then try your Win7 config again, without and then with your firewall of choice. So, if your Win7 config is using Ipv6, try to disable that. (And, if you use a router, are there any port rules defined there ? Current with firmware updates ? )Īnd, Is your Win7 configuration using IPv6 ?
