Home, Work, or Public network settings.Client side network setup III.

Home, Work, or Public network settings.

– Home networks.» Windows Firewall classifies Home networks as

private.» Network discovery is turned on by default (the PC

is visible to other PCs on the network).» HomeGroups can be created and joined.

– Work networks.» Windows Firewall classifies Work networks as

private.» Network discovery is turned on by default.» HomeGroups cannot be created or joined.

– Public networks.» Windows Firewall classifies Public networks as

public.» Network discovery is turned off by default.» Harder to be seen and to see other network

devices.


Firewall settings.Client side network setup III.

Firewall settings.

General.

Turn the firewall on or off.

The firewall is turned on or off from this tab. The firewall may be turned on and exceptions turned to off for additional security.

Exceptions.

Allow specific traffic to reach the PC.

There are five predefined exception rules that can be enabled or disabled. Programs and ports can be exceptions.

Advanced.

More than just the basics.

Two network interface cards? Not a problem. The advanced tab also allows for logging. ICMP response is turned off by default; it can be turned on here.


Firewall settings.

– Firewall basic configuration.» The home page allows the user to see basic

information.» The Turn Windows Firewall on or off link

provides some control over firewall behavior.» The Allow a program or feature through

Windows Firewall link provides basic control over some exceptions.

– Windows Firewall with Advanced Security.

» Much more than the basic firewall.» Rules can be created for both inbound and

outbound traffic.» Rules can be configured by IP address, Network

IDs, ports, protocols, and applications as well as by other parameters.

» Rules can be network profile based—Private or Public.


Alternate IP addressing.Client side network setup III.

Alternate IP addressing.

A useful tool for the mobile network user when DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is not available.

If a mobile user travels between locations and one does not use DHCP, then, when the mobile device doesn’t receive the DHCP response, it will automatically use the pre-defined user settings. In order to set this properly, the IP address, subnet mask, DNS (Domain Name System) address, and default gateway address must be known.


Network card properties.Client side network setup III.

Network card properties.

– Duplex.» Half duplex = send or receive, but only one at a

time.» Full duplex = send and receive at the same time.

– Speed.» Usually determined by bits per second (bps)

which is vastly different than bytes per second (Bps) by an order of magnitude of eight.

– Wake-on-LAN.» Some NICs are capable of turning the PC on when

it receives a signal on the network. It listens for the signal, even when the PC is off.

– QoS (quality of service).» The ability to give priority to certain network

traffic in order to improve performance of a given application or service. QoS is often utilized in situations where voice over IP (VoIP) is used.


What was covered.Client side network setup III.

Network discovery is either turned on or off depending on the profile. The ability to create and join HomeGroups is also determined by the profile.

Topic

Home, Work, or Public network settings.

Summary

It can be on or off and exceptions are either allowed or not allowed. The advanced security feature allows for a high level of control into and out of a PC.

Firewall settings.

This is a useful tool for when a mobile user travels on a regular basis to a network that doesn’t utilize DHCP.

Alternative IP addressing.

Network card properties.Modern NICs default to full duplex. The speed is measured in bps. Some NICs can use the Wake-on-LAN feature. Consider QoS with VoIP.
