communications on the computer. Refer to the specific antivirus or security software help manual
for more details on how to do this.
• Firewall enabled and configured - either Windows firewall or third party software. Ensure to
enable the required ports for eServer communications.
• Administration rights on the computer with a valid username and password
• Static IP address for the ADSL connection
• Static IP address on the local computer
