Set The Windows Xp Firewall To 'Off' - DPS Telecom NetGuardian Techno Knowledge Paper

Unable to Telnet to NetGuardian

□ Set the Windows XP firewall to 'off'

◦ Click Start → Settings → Control Panel → Windows Firewall
◦ You may want to open a single port (2002) for Telnet alone, but fully disabling the Firewall may be
a more useful testing procedure in many cases.
◦ If it is 'on', temporarily set the software Firewall to 'off':
NOTE: Disabling your firewall temporarily is a troubleshooting measure only and
not intended as a long-term solution for connection issues. DPS Telecom does not
recommend that you leave your firewall disabled for extended periods.
