Configuring the Windows XP Firewall

Dynamic addresses can change at any moment, making it harder for firewalls
to keep track of. If you need to use a firewall, we suggest that you configure
your UBox to use a static IP address. Also, if your firewall is currently turned
on, you will not be able to see the UBox. Turn off the firewall to allow your
computer to communicate temporarily with the UBox.

To obtain the Advanced Settings window:

1. On

the

Start menu, click SettingsÆNetwork Settings. An icon for your network

connection displays. (It is usually called Local Area Connection).

2. Right-click the icon. A submenu opens.

3. In the submenu, select Properties. The Local Area Connection Properties

window opens.
