What do Firewall Blocking Messages Mean?

Firewalls block certain types of communications between network devices. This helps protect your
data from hackers, viruses, spyware, and Trojan horse software. The computer might have one or
more firewall programs installed. For example, if the latest version of the Microsoft Windows XP
operating system is installed, the computer may be using the Windows XP Firewall.
The HP MediaSmart Server comes with software applications that must communicate over the
network. Sometimes these programs are blocked by a firewall. When this happens, security alerts
pop up on the computer screen.
Security alerts usually have a list of possible options. The particular messages or alerts displayed
depend on the vender.
For example, the alert might offer the following options:
•
Keep Blocking
•
Unblock
•
Defer the choice and be reminded later
If a security alert dialog box for an HP MediaSmart Server application or the Windows Home
Server is displayed by the firewall, click Unblock or Allow to permit the application to execute. It
