netflix & win10 firewall

[spiff]

hi guys just need some help on behalf of a friend

I don't have netflix, but a friend of mine has it on her win10 DEL i3 laptop and is not working - it used to apparently, so I'm assuming some win10 update has screwed it up?

I had a look at it for her and it seems to be the windows firewall blocking netflix. works if FW is disabled

I checked the firewall and netflix is in the list but still won't work if the FW is active.

as I'm not that clued up with IT, so is there something I can do to get it working for her?

it works on her cell phone perfectly

thanks

Yep something seems to be dodgy

Read something on the net about enabling windows media center in the fw.
Will try it next time I'm at her place

Just over an hour. Used to be that people get helped much quicker on this forum. /wonders if one can complain on Hellopeter about forumites slacking....
These days, all the geeks is on a power trip, bragging of their braai broodjies, in Morty's braai thread.

Are you talking about the Win10 netflix app or is it not working in the browser?

yes.

it works fine in the chrome browser with the win10 FW disabled

if the win10 FW is enabled then it won't work.

tried getting the netflix app setup in the win10 FW as an exception but it s already listed in the FW list till won't work
