A:Configuring the Windows XP Firewall
UBox User Guide 65
Dynamic addresses can change at any moment, making it harder for firewalls
to keep track of. If you need to use a firewall, we suggest that you configure
your UBox to use a static IP address. Also, if your firewall is currently on, you
will not be able to see the UBox. Turn off the firewall to allow your computer
to communicate temporarily with the UBox.
