    Hi, I just got an XPS 15 (L502X). It comes with the McAfee internet security suite. I tries to connect my other laptop wireless to my XPS 15 through the Intel My WiFi Technology access point option so that i could share my LAN internet connection. Whilst the other laptop connects wireless with the XPS 15. The internet connection sharing only works when i disable the McAfee firewall. I would be extremely grateful if someone could help me out to configure the firewall.



    Many Thanks

    Yeah this one is easy. Uninstall any and everything McAfee. Then do a google search for "microsoft security essentials". Download it and install it. Make sure your windows firewall is on. Don't open goofy email or email from someone you don't know and stay away from pr0n sites. :p
