Firewalls are preventing me from accessing the internet.

Hello, I have a Windows XP desktop PC. I bought a Wi-Fi USB adapter that connects perfectly to Wi-Fi, but when I try to search the internet, it doesn't work. I run the diagnostic, and it says there is a firewall issue and that I need to check the firewall settings for HTTP port (80), HTTPS port (443), and FTP port (21).
Thank you for helping me as soon as possible.

    Hello,

    'As soon as possible ...'

    There are only volunteers here, who respond to help, not due to contractual obligation!

    In all firewalls, it is possible to manage the opening of certain ports and that is precisely what you are being asked to do.

    Moreover, your key was probably installed with a small application that should be located in the program files.

    It would be useful to set an exception in the firewall for this application.

    After that, it should work.

    When exceptions become rules,
    questions teach more than answers!

      Hi,

      For more details in the answer, there needs to be more details in the question!

      What is the firewall for example ...
      What is this WiFi key?
      How was it installed?

      Thank you
