Using Firewall Protection Connection type and detections of incoming communications • O pen and blocked ports, through which a computer can and cannot receive communications. This is required to set up a computer as a server that provides system services. The server will accept communications through any open port from any computer. Conversely, it will not accept communications through any blocked port. • IP addresses from which a computer can receive communications. This allows you to limit communications to specific IP addresses. Configure settings for custom connections on the General tab of the Firewall Protection policy page. Once configured, custom connection settings are saved until you reconfigure them. If you temporarily select a Trusted network or Untrusted network connection type, the custom settings will still be there the next time you want to configure a custom connection. NOTE: Custom settings configured on the SecurityCenter are ignored on client computers if firewall protection mode is set to Prompt. In Prompt mode, settings configured by users override administrator settings. 84 McAfee Total Protection Service Product Guide
