C: Windows Firewall
BOA Spot communicates with the PC through the Network connection. Windows
Firewall will block this communication. It is easiest to turn off the firewall. If you must
connect to an office network or to the Internet you can turn the firewall back on.
1. Open the Control Panel. Click on "System and Security". Click on "Windows
Firewall". If you get a message that says the service is not running, click "No" (do
not start the firewall). Skip forward to "D. Internet Explorer."
2. Click "Turn Windows Firewall on or off". Click the bubble beside "Off (not
recommended)" in all categories. Click "OK".
Note: If you prefer to leave the Firewall on, you can run the Application and approve
each process as it gets reported by the firewall as "potentially unsafe". Return to the
Windows Firewall, and click on "Allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall"
and verify what processes are being allowed or denied.
