How to check/change Windows firewall settings?
- By default Windows firewall will not allow Wi-File Transfer to run on public networks, which results in the Android device and Computer not discovering each other.
- To verify if Windows firewall is preventing the application from running:
- Go to the Windows network and sharing center: Start -> Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center
- Your screen should look similar to this:
- Wi-File Transfer is allowed to run if you see "Home Network" or "Work Network" below your network name. (no need to do anything)
- Windows firewall is blocking Wi-File Transfer if you see "Public Network" below your network name. Follow the instructions below.
- To stop Windows Firewall from blocking the application:
- Press the "Public network" link below your network name:
- Select "Home network" or "Work network"
- Restart the computer client.
- If problems persist: contact me
