Computer Firewall Functions
When using the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall function:
enabling the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall function may prevent
the computer from being accessed externally (this function is disabled by
default). This function can prevent connection to your network when you
change your Access Point settings. If this happens, disable the Internet
Connection Firewall function, connect to the network and then re-enable
the function. Refer to the Windows XP Help for details.
