Sorry about wrong place for the post :-[ I must have been out to lunch!
Uncheck protect my computer etc. Whats the etc include? :-[
Idem for your LAN connection? Im not sure what is meant. Man im dumb. For some reason this doesnt ring a bell. I know i did this once before, but it doesnt sound familiar. Sorry :-[
As you can tell im pretty green at this.

It's here:

Control Panel > Network Connections > right-click your network connection item > Properties > Advanced tab > untick the "Protect my computer..." box (see image)

If you have more than one network connectoid, do this for all of them.
