How to reset firewall settings via CMD

From the previous post, here is another way how to enable/reset firewall settings.


1. Open Run and type the following
CMD /K NETSH FIREWALL RESET

Launch firewall applet from Control Panel, and see if you're able to configure the Windows Firewall settings.

If the above steps do not help, as a last resort solution (before attempting to reinstall the Service Pack), give the following commands a try:

2. Click Start, Run and type:

rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection Ndi-Steelhead 132 %windir%\inf\netrass.inf

The above command repaired most of the Windows Firewall settings. After running the above command, restart Windows and then run the following:



CMD /K NETSH FIREWALL RESET


Hope This will help. :)
