Firewall settings (For Network users)

CD-ROM, the necessary Firewall settings have already been made. If you did not install from the CD-ROM
follow the instructions below to configure your Windows Firewall. If you are using any other personal Firewall
software, see the User's Guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.
