68 Hog 4 Operations Manual
Firewalls and Hog 4 PC
Firewalls help to provide increased network security by controlling access to private
networks and computers based on the public IP address of the client. Since the Hog 4 OS
depends on multi-cast network traffic for communication to other system devices it is
encouraged that users configure their network and computer firewalls and security settings to
allow for HogNet network traffic. For some firewall applications this might mean turning off
the firewall completely.

first selecting Network, Hog Net, HogNet Config.

same rules and principals as outlined for network adapters consoles in Configuring Console
