my firewall can’t seem to detect new private network??

how can i open the NEW PRIVATE NETWORK DETECTED window??

i’m only using a single PC and my IP address changes everyday… is it possible for the firewall to notify me if my IP address changes?

thanks for the help…

Since you don’t have a local network in the first place it cannot detect a local network. That’s why it is not there.

If you were to have a router in between a modem and your computer CIS would automatically detect that and add it to My Network Zones.

I hope that this clears things up for you.
