It is avery easily done and here is a great free program to do that. I have a 2Wire Gateway and I always keep my hardware firewall enabled. Why not. And Verizon should NOT have it disabled by default. If that was the case then ever Netgear and Linksys router should have the hardware disabled by default. Ask any security expert around and they will tellyou to use both. Also what if there are other devices that connect to the router? Now by disabling the hardware firewall you are making those other devices insecure such as tablets or other pc's which are not running NIS.
Both your post and mine have merit. What I was attempting to do with the OP was to simply explain that both firewalls, if not correctly configured, could lead to problems. When you created your post, I was still in troubleshooting mode and wanted to hear back with the results. Of course not. One more thing.. The web page for the Westell will show the differences in the Firewall settings for high, medium and low.
It will show just what type of programs or functions will be allowed to come thru. It could be the router. If I am understanding you correctly the camera stream and your cell phone both need to access the application on your computer through your router.
That means plenty of opportunities for something to go wrong. Make sure that whatever software is needed to establish these connections is allowed in Norton Program Control. Then you need to look into any port forwarding that might be required in the router to allow everything to pass through to the laptop.
Can you provide the name of the application? The proper router configuration is probably specified somewhere on their website support pages. On the laptop i just edited the other devices to trusted , i couldn't do it for the laptop.
It just shows secure. On my desktop which is connected directly to the router. I was able to choose trusted for the laptop. When i choose trusted devices tab on the laptop i see nothing there but it does show the other devices as trusted on the top bar. Everything that could be selected trusted has been including the cellphone, but not the router i left that as shared. I think in order for that to happen i'll need portforwarding, but i have very little experince with that. That's another page in the story.
Reg: Nov Kudos 0. Hi, I'd like some guidance on how to configure the personal firewall. Many thanks in advance. I have the same question 0.
Reg: May Address that will not be Blocked by N. Thank you. Can't remember the exact Options, as I am not using N.
In the Advanced Options, click "Configure". Norton Internet Security : Firewall Settings. The intrusion prevention system is the same as that of Norton AntiVirus, but the full suite adds standard firewall network protection and program control. Norton Internet Security : Program Control. Normally control of which programs can access the Internet is totally handled by the firewall. However, if it becomes necessary you can dig in and make manual changes.
Norton Internet Security : Exploit Blocked. Not only does the intrusion protection system block malicious exploit attacks, in most cases it identifies the attack by name in its security history.
Norton Internet Security : Phishing Protection. When you accidentally try to visit a fraudulent web site Norton Safe Web will divert your browser to this warning page. Norton has consistently proven to be an excellent antiphishing solution.
