- Click Windows Start icon. In the search field, type Allow.
- Click Allow a program through Windows* Firewall from the search results list.
- Scroll down to these names in the list, WiDiApp and Wireless PAN DHCP Server, and select the check boxes for Name, Home/Work Private, and Public.
- Click OK and connect again.
