Using Neoware Firewall

Configuring Neoware Firewall

Introduction

Starting the

Configuration

Utility

Neoware Firewall is disabled by default. If you are using ezUpdate and have configured your FTP server to use passive data connec- tions, you will need to configure Neoware Firewall for passive FTP before enabling it. Since passive FTP servers may be configured to use a range of ports anywhere between 1024 and 65535, there is no way of pre-configuring these ports in Neoware Firewall without making the firewall essentially ineffective. Enabling Neoware Firewall without configuring it for passive FTP will make ezUpdate fail for those networks using passive FTP.

Neoware Firewall is configured using a utility that is accessed from the Start menu. To run the utility, select Start > All Programs >

Neoware Firewall Configuration Utility.

The utility will display an introductory screen then a dialog listing all the currently defined firewall filters.
