protect your PC whenever the ISS server PC is operating.
The Firewall has four security levels:

is the least restrictive. Refer to the section "Set up the Firewall" on
Trusting
page 20 for more information.
Important: A Firewall provides protection against unauthorized
access by hackers, but you will still need additional software to help
protect you against computer viruses.
The AnyPoint Connectivity Software Suite identifies and filters Web page
content in specified categories (such as pornography, hate speech, weapons,
drugs, and gambling). At home, you can set up Parental Control to block
undesirable Web pages from appearing on specific PCs on your network.
Refer to the section "Set up Parental Control" on page 23 to set up each PC
with different levels of Web access:
• Select the option
objectionable sites. You can add exceptions to the automatic option for
sites you wish to allow or filter.
• Select
Allow these sites only
each PC can visit. You must click
HTTP sites you want to allow.
• Select
No restrictions
Web site filtering does not block chat programs, download sites, e-mail, or
news groups.
It is easy to set up your network, but you need to plan a little. Draw a
diagram showing the location of PCs and printer(s). Indicate the location of
data or printers you want to be available to everyone on the network and
other data or printers you do not want to be available to everyone. It is
important to identify the PC you will use for your shared Internet
connection. This is usually the PC with the fastest connection through your
modem (or cable).
