Neoware Firewall User Manual Introduction CHAPTER 2 Configuring Neoware Firewall This chapter describes how to configure Neoware Firewall to provide the level of protection required for your thin client. Neoware Firewall is disabled by default. If you are using ezUpdate and have configured your FTP server to use passive data connections, you will need to configure Neoware Firewall for passive FTP before enabling it. Since passive FTP servers may be configured to use a range of ports anywhere between 1024 and 65535, there is no way of pre-configuring these ports in Neoware Firewall without making the firewall essentially ineffective. Enabling Neoware Firewall without configuring it for passive FTP will make ezUpdate fail for those networks using passive FTP. 3

This chapter describes how to configure Neoware Firewall to

Introduction
Neoware Firewall is disabled by default. If you are using ezUpdate
and have configured your FTP server to use passive data connec-
tions, you will need to configure Neoware Firewall for passive FTP
before enabling it. Since passive FTP servers may be configured to
use a range of ports anywhere between 1024 and 65535, there is no
way of pre-configuring these ports in Neoware Firewall without
making the firewall essentially ineffective. Enabling Neoware Fire-
wall without configuring it for passive FTP will make ezUpdate
fail for those networks using passive FTP.
