With proper setup, disabling the firewall is not required. 
 
Video Patrol 5.0 supports UPnP. Windows XP users can easily configure port forwarding 
using UPnP. Windows 2000 users must manually configure port forwarding. Please refer to 
the user manual or your network administrator for more detail on router configuration.
