Using Firewall Software - HP 1035nr - Mini - Atom 1.6 GHz User Manual

Using firewall software

When you use the device for e-mail, network, or Internet access, unauthorized persons may be able to
gain access to the device, your personal files, and information about you. Use the firewall software
preinstalled on the device to protect your privacy.
Firewall features include logging and reporting of network activity, and automatic monitoring of all
incoming and outgoing traffic. Refer to the firewall user guide or contact your firewall manufacturer for
more information.
NOTE: Under some circumstances a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with printer
or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To temporarily resolve the problem,
disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then reenable the firewall. To
permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall.
