and worms across networks.
You can think of a firewall as a sentinel which identifies incoming data from the Internet and other networks. According to the firewall settings, incoming data to your computer is either permitted or rejected.
The Windows Firewall is, by default, installed and activated on your client. However, your administrator can turn it off. You can choose and select a different firewall. Therefore, it is not required for you to use the Windows Firewall. Estimate the functions of other firewalls and choose the best one to fit your requirements. To install and run a different firewall, you must turn off the Windows Firewall.
You must be logged on as administrator to turn the Windows Firewall on or off. Follow these steps to turn the Windows Firewall on or off.
1.Run the Windows Firewall.
2.Click on one of these options under the General tab.
{On (recommended) : This is the recommended setting for normal use.
{On with no exceptions : This settings blocks all unwanted access to your client, including all requests to programs and services selected in the Exceptions tab. Use this setting when you need to protect your client to the maximum extent.
{Off (Not recommended) : Turning off the Windows Firewall may make your client and network more vulnerable to viruses and intruders.
Configuring Utilities
Local Drive
C Drive
The C drive is used for the system. If there is less than 3MB of free space available, the client OS cannot operate. Therefore, always ensure that there is a sufficient amount of free space available. EWF can help maintain available space by preventing the C drive being written to directly.
Saving Files
Your client uses a fixed size of flash memory. Therefore, it is better to save files to the server rather than to your client.
Mapping a Network Drive
The administrator can map a folder to a network drive. To keep the mapping information after restarting the client, take note of these directions carefully.
-Select the Reconnect at logon checkbox in the Map Network Drive dialog box.
-If the EWF or FBWF is enabled, the changes are saved on the disk.
