Configuring Neoware Firewall
Neoware Firewall is disabled by default. If you are using ezUpdate
and have configured your FTP server to use passive data connec-
tions, you will need to configure Neoware Firewall for passive FTP
before enabling it. Since passive FTP servers may be configured to
use a range of ports anywhere between 1024 and 65535, there is no
way of pre-configuring these ports in Neoware Firewall without
making the firewall essentially ineffective. Enabling Neoware Fire-
wall without configuring it for passive FTP will make ezUpdate fail
for those networks using passive FTP.
Neoware Firewall is configured using a utility that is accessed from
the Start menu. To run the utility, select Start > All Programs >
Neoware Firewall Configuration Utility.
The utility will display an introductory screen then a dialog listing
all the currently defined firewall filters.
