Configure Windows Firewall

Posted: 04-15-2007, 04:17 PM
Hello,

I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate Edition at home and have configured the
firewall to enable me from outbound traffic. The problem I need help with is
to configure the firewall to properly allow Windows Defender and Windows
Update to work.

I would appreciate any help I can get to properly configure both Windows
Defender and Windows Update so that I don't have to turn off outbound
traffic. This is what happens below with the firewall turned on.

When I open Windows Defender and click Check for Updates, I get an error:

The program can't check for definition updates
Error found: Code 0x80072efd

When I click "Check for Updates" for Windows Updates I get the following
error:

Windows could not search for new updates
Error(s) found
Code 80072Efd

Eric
