2.3 Software rewalls
Before conguring your router please take note that sof tware rewalls such as Norton Personal Firewall (tm),
ZoneLabs’ ZoneAlarm(tm), etc. can make it very dif cult (if not impossible) to set up your router if the rewall
is congured incorrectly.
Please make sure that the router’s subnet (IP- range: 192.168.2.x, subnetmask: 255.255.255.0) is a trusted
network and no restrictions are applied to it. If you are unsure how to congure your rewall either contact the
rewall manufacturer or (temporarily) remove the rewall from your system(s).
Note: Shutting down or disabling your rewall is not advisable because some rewall programs will still
block network trafc even though they are disabled.
