Using firewall software

When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet access, unauthorized persons may be able
to gain access to the computer, your personal files, and information about you. Use the firewall software
preinstalled on the computer to protect your privacy.

Firewall features include logging and reporting of network activity, and automatic monitoring of all
incoming and outgoing traffic. Refer to the firewall user guide or contact your firewall manufacturer for
more information.

NOTE:

Under some circumstances a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with printer

or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To temporarily resolve the problem,
disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then reenable the firewall. To
permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall.
