 +====== Windows 8 Problem and Fix ======
 +
 +  * **How to Change home/office Wifi Network's property into "Home and Private Network" profile**
 +    * Problem behind it:
 +      * If you check windows firewall setting in "Control" panel, there are "Private networks" and "Guest or Public networks"; by default, it connects any wifi as "Guest or Public networks", and prohibit any incoming connection; thus that causes home wifi inter PC connection can't work, like file transfer with Dukto.
 +    * Solution:
 +      * manually set home Wifi's property as "Private networks" - steps:
 +        - click on Wifi icon on the taskbar, then the right side charm bar pop up with listing of all wifi;
 +        - then click the very top of the bar, the Text called "View connection settings", then a window pop up called "Network > connection" showing on the left, and wifi name show on the right.
 +        - then click on the home wifi name on the right, then, that wifi's property showing up
 +        - under Find devices and content: make it "On";
 +        - Done, that step make the wifi into "Home and Private Network" profile, now you can check windows firewall setting in "Control" panel; it shows "Private network" connected.
 +        - From now on, you can send file transfer, such as with Dukto, without have to fight with general windows firewall inbound/outbound rules in the firewall advanced setting.
