Edit a PC connection

You can edit a Home, Work, Public, or Blocked PC connection and its associated IP address. You might need to edit a PC connection if you're on a new PC and you changed your home network configuration, or to allow another PC in your home network to access your PC.

Task
1 Open the Firewall settings page.
2 Click Connections.
3 Under Edit IP Address, select the version of the PC connection's IP address: IPv4 or IPv6.
4 Do one of the following:
Select Single, then type the IP address in the IP Address box.
Select Range, then type the starting (From:) and ending (To:) IP addresses. If your PC connection is on an IPv6 network, type the starting IP address (IPv6 Address) and the prefix length (Subnet prefix length).
If a system service uses Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), you can type 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.255 for the starting (From:) and ending (To:) IP addresses.
5 From the Connection Protection Type menu, specify the security level for this PC connection:
To... Do this...
To specify that this PC connection is part of a home network Select Home
To specify that this PC connection is part of a corporate network Select Work
To specify that this PC connection is Public, as in a PC in an Internet café, hotel, or airport Select Public
To block traffic that comes from an IP address so that it can't reach your PC through any port Select Blocked
