Adjust the firewall settings of your computer
If you are using the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall function
or a personal firewall provided by virus scanning software, it may be
necessary to adjust its security level. For details, see below.
Computer Firewall Functions
When using the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall function:
enabling the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall function may prevent
you from accessing your computer through wireless communication (with the
Windows XP operating system, this function is disabled by default). Because
of this, you may not be able to connect to your network, when you change
your Wireless LAN Converter and/or Access Point settings. If this happens,
disable the Internet Connection Firewall function, connect to the network,
and then reactivate the function. For details, refer to Windows XP Help.
Network security is an important issue. You are urged to consider carefully how best to
protect your computer.
When using a personal firewall provided by virus scanning or network security
software: virus scanning and network security software sometimes included a
function called a personal firewall that is designed to prevent illegal access
by outside entities. Depending on the software, the security level of this
function may be initially set to a high level. If this high security level setting is
left in effect, it may be impossible for an outside entity to access your
computer. This can cause problems such as not being able to connect to the
network when changing the Wireless LAN Converter or Access Point settings.
In this event, lower the security level in order to allow network connection.
For details, refer to the manuals provided with your software.
