Chapter 2: Connecting the Components
Using a Router
You should have a router on your network for several reasons:
1. To set up a local network so that other computers can connect to your Mirra.
2. To connect the local network to the Internet.
3. To provide firewall protection between the local network (including the Mirra)
and the Internet.
You should always use a router that includes a firewall to connect your local
network to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) because the firewall blocks
unauthorized access to your local network from the Internet.
Connecting your Mirra to your Computer
The Mirra Sync and Share Personal Server can be used with one computer or with
multiple computers.
