Update Your Firewall's Trusted Program List

The Software Installation Disc installs several programs that enable your computer to
communicate with the HP MediaSmart Server over your network. Software firewalls installed on
your computer can block this communication and prevent the computer from locating the HP
MediaSmart Server on your network.
Note
If Media Collector is not collecting music, photos, or videos and you use a third party firewall, add
a firewall exception for port 21 TCP/outbound within the local subnet. Consult your software's
documentation for details on how to do this.
