    I think I blocked my wifi. How do I unblock?

    I just got a new computer thats running windows 7 home and I was working on it. A box popped up and asked me if I wanted to allow or block some program I didnt know and didnt activate. So I blocked it. next thing I know I am connected to my router but cannot access the internet. My other computers have no problem connecting wirelessly. Makes me think I managed to block my wifi program (whatever that is). Does anyone know how to unblock that or what it would look like?

    Hello SSkicr001 and welcome to the Vista forum have you tried to do a restore say like a day or two before the mixup.

    Welcome
    If you do not receive a satisfactory answer here, you may want to visit our Sister Forum, Seven Forums where they specialize in Windows 7
    That being said, use a system restore from before the problem. That will avoid guessing at what you actually did and the solution.

    Re: I think I blocked my wifi. How do I unblock?

    I tried the system restore to a week ago and it didnt change. The reason I am on vista forums is because I cant access the internet with the computer that has windows 7.

    I restored and nothing changed. It says its connected but has limited access. I know everything works because I am using the same wifi with this computer. maybe I told my computer it was an unidentified network and so it wont access the internet from it. Any ideas further?

    Since your question relates to Seven, that would be the best Forum for your needs. The computer used to access the Forum would have no impact on the answer.
