network, while automatically keeping itself current with software updates. You can
decide when and how to receive notification of attacks and view detailed logs through
the Gateway's user interface.

If you decide, either for the purpose of gaming, messaging or file sharing etc., that you

network, you can change the firewall settings to allow this communication to pass
through.
