Firewall Software
When you use the notebook for e-mail, network, or Internet
access, it is possible for unauthorized persons to obtain
information about you, your notebook, and your data. To protect
your privacy, it is recommended that you use
firewall software.
Firewalls monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic on your
notebook by including features such as logging and reporting,
automatic alarms, and user interfaces for configuring the firewall.
Your notebook comes with preinstalled firewall software. Refer to
the firewall documentation or contact the
firewall manufacturer.
✎
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 solve 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.
