Use the preinstalled firewall software to protect your information and your privacy. Firewalls monitor and log incoming and outgoing traffic and alert you when questionable Web sites try to gain access to your computer. Refer to the firewall user guide or contact your firewall manufacturer for more information.

To gain access, temporarily disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then reenable the firewall. To permanently solve the problem, reconfigure the firewall. 8 Chapter 4 Using firewall software
