"click here to fix this."

That might be an idea...

Right click my netowrk places, properties.

The icon listed in the window which opens.. Right click it and go properties, I think it is the last tab.

Did you "click here" to fix it? It SHOULD fix it self... You can always download some other firewall, such as ZoneAlarm...

ZoneAlarm - I echo that.

If there is one security feature I would recommend paying for, it would be ZoneAlarm Pro. Although, some will say its more 'hands on', which in a way, it is. But sure does its job.

Mind, saying that, ZoneAlarm free edition is still good and does what its intended to do.
