Getting Started
First: Remove or disable conflicting applications
Applications that enable a computer to share its Internet connection (often called Internet sharing software) and PC based firewall applications typically interfere with the Intelligent Gateway and should be removed or disabled before you install the Intelligent Gateway. The Intelligent Gateway provides all of the same features as the products listed below so you don’t need to worry about losing Internet sharing and security capabilities.
If you have any of the following (or similar) applications installed on your computers, remove or disable them according to the manufacturer’s instructions before proceeding.
