How to turn on Windows 7 Network Access Protection?

    I recently went into my Action Center in Windows 7 to make sure everything was up to date, and I ran into one item - Network Access Protection (NAP), that is turned to Off.

    When I click on "What is Network Access Protection" Windows says that it's "a platform that network administrators can use to help protect the security of a network. When you connect to a corporate network that uses NAP, your computer is checked to make sure that it has the required software and settings, and that the software and settings are up to date. If anything is missing or outdated, your computer can be automatically updated. Your network access might be limited during that time, but usually this process happens quickly, after which full network access is restored."

    Sounds like it might be a good idea to turn it on. Of course, they don't provide a link to do so. Any insight from CWD forum people?

    You can turn it on, but you don't necessarily need to if you're on a home network. It's intended more for large business/ corporate/ intranet/ LAN networks.

    By leaving it off you conserve resources as well. Nevertheless, for those of you that need it turned on, here's how you do it:

    • Browse to Start > type in "Services" > click on Services
    • Find Network Access Protection Agent in the list, right-click it, select "Properties," and under the "General" tab, under "Startup type," select "Automatic" and "OK." This should make NAP start with your PC. If you wish to start it right away, right-click on "Network Access Protection Agent" again, and select "Start."

    yes i have windows 7 64bit and alot of ram and plenty of cpu speed but i still want it to be faster so my question is how do i speed it up with software sence im not a hardware tech. i have windows 7 manager and advanced system care 5 full version and they work great. but still im looking for more speed that will improve my overall system stability , like when i leave my pc alone all night and come back in the morning its like slow for a minut or two untill i start running programs and the internet , and also i have dsl connection at 10.mbps plenty of speed for me but is slow to get back online when i reboot my pc it takes 2 minuts or more before i can start searching the web ..anyway if you could answer some of these question i would love to get feedback at gt40man29@yahoo.com thank's

    B.T Broadband re: its speed ; I fail to see how BT can give us the speeds they have reported to us over the years. The phone lines in my street are antique, when we first moved into our house, the B.T boxes were made of the old 'Bakelite'. These two bakelite boxes were after some repeated phone calls changed to plastic boxes. However, the phone lines are the same out pre-war cable lines. I did a check on my speed and it was 1.4mbps though I was lead to believe the speed to be 10mbps. My laptop is a Windows 7. ciao nemo
