darthfergie Posted December 22, 2002 Share Posted December 22, 2002 ...um...you may not want to turn it off...maybe adjust a few settings, but if you don't have a firewall you can really get screwed over since your connected to the internet 24/7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherack Nhar Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 If you have a hardware firewall there's no way to turn it off without reconfiguring the entire network, so forget about that. àIf it's a software firewall I guess you can simply uninstall it. A good software firewall is ZoneAlarm, but I'm pretty sure there are better ones out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid you can't remove it. See the documentation or call tech support to configure your router to make your apps work with it flawlessly. I'd say it works in about 80% of the cases.
