Firepass not detecting firewall

We've got a new laptop configured with Windows 7 32bit. Its an image that we have used across a number of systems withouth issue. We've installed the full Firepass client. When the pre-logon sequence goes to check for the firewall it fails - Firewall not detected. I've also tried setting the option to start the firewall but no luck.

 

 

Thanks all for the help.

    In your pre-logon sequence post the check that it's doing for the firewall. In addition, post the Opswat version along with the Firewall being used.

    Thank Mike.

     

     

    The pre-logon sequence is using the Windows Firewall Checker option and is set to enable it if it's not enabled. The Opswat version is 3.4.22.1. The firewall is Windows Firewall.

    Hmm, that's a pretty old Opswat version. Can you upgrade to something newer?

     

     

    The firewall check is set to this without quotes "session.fw.summary.enabled == 1" ?

    I may be able to update our Opswat. It doesn't require a reboot does it?

     

     

    we have three checks for the firewall

     

    running -> session.fw.summary.enabled == 1

     

    installed -> session.fw.summary.cound>0

     

    fallback

    Is there anything else I can check on the client side? Its another WTH? situation where we have 10 other people using the same config that don't have an issue connecting.

    You can enable the check logging and have the user click on the data and report back.
