Configuring Your Firewall

User Guide

 

 

Microsoft Firewall

Microsoft Firewall is a standard component for Windows XP, Service Pack 2 (SP2). Microsoft does a good job of automatically asking users to allow Command Center to access the network. This automatic configuration method is sufficient in most cases. Here we provide you with instruction for both the automatic and manual configuration methods.

ENABLE COMMAND CENTER AUTOMATICALLY

When you first start Command Center, Microsoft Firewall will automatically provide you with a Windows Security Alert, asking you whether you want to block Command Center. You should always choose Unblock when the program name is Command Center and the publisher is WiLife.

ENABLE COMMAND CENTER MANUALLY

In some cases, Windows may not provide you with the automatic alert or you may mistakenly choose to block Command Center. In these and other cases, you need to configure the firewall rules manually.

Follow these step-by-step instructions:

1)Open the Control Panel from the Start menu.

Next, open the Windows Firewall using one of the two examples below:

From Category View, pick Network and Internet Connections and then Windows Firewall.

In the Classic View, choose Windows Firewall.
