    Serious firewall Issue

    Yes, I have posted in the Firewall group without success. This seems to be
    serious enough to post here since there are more folks reading and helpin'



    I have no other firewall but the Windows Firewall in a Vista Business
    Thinkpad T60p.

    I get the following error in Event Viewer:

    Windows Firewall was unable to notify the user that it blocked an
    application from accepting incoming connections on the network.

    Error Code: 2


    I have the Notify option set to ON in Vista . Since this is a Vista product
    (Firewall) interacting with a Vista product (Vista Business) doesn't anyone
    who knows Vista have a clue what Error Code 2 refers to?? You'd think the
    folks at MS might be curious since it involves their software exclusively.
    Is there an Error Code listing anywhere that I might go to and find Code 2?

    Any and all suggestions appreciated.

    Does your virus protect also have a firewall ? They could be clashing, turn
    the Vista one off.
