Firewall software
When you use the computer for e-mail, network, or Internet
access, unauthorized persons may be able to gain access to
information about you, the computer, and your information. Use
the firewall software preinstalled on the computer to protect your
privacy.
Firewall features include logging, reporting, and automatic
alarms to monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic. Refer to the
firewall documentation or contact your firewall manufacturer for
more information.
✎
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.
