WEC 2013 Firewall FWS0: How to make service start automatically

  • Hello,


    the Firewall Service (FWS0) on my efusA9 with WEC2013 F&S Kernel Version 3.90 does not start automatically. It is possible to start it later with "services start fws0:".


    1. Why does it no start automatically? Is that always the case?
    2. Shouldn't it load and start when Flags are 0x10 (16)?
    3. Is there any other "enable" flag? (like HKLM\Comm\FTPD\IsEnabled:DWORD for the FTP Server)?

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\Firewall<br>

    "Filter"=multi:{299A39FC-4CF2-4c18-9A17-2F097601DF33}<br>

    "UserProcGroup"=dword:2<br>

    "Flags"=dword:16<br>

    "Dll"=string:FIREWALL.Dll<br>

    "Order"=dword:9<br>

    "Keep"=dword:1<br>

    "Prefix"=string:FWS<br>

    "Index"=dword:0


    Kind Regards

    Martin

  • Hello Martin,


    as far as I see you already test: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\<Service Name>\Keep=DWORD:1. Does this not work? According the docs it should work! At least "services start FWS0:" should work (it may be case sensitive).




    Think we can ignore Flags|=0x10, it only means the service it loaded into the user mode.


    PS: concerning "autostart" I found following in the source code. This should work:

    // Read registry setting for Autostart Firewall Service

    // [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\COMM\TCPIP\FIREWALL]

    // "FWSAutoStart"=dword:0

    // ; 0 - AutoStart Firewall Service Disabaled/ Default

    // ; 1.- AutoStart Firewall Service Enabled at boot time..
