The access settings in browser address are 192.168.1.1 for Linksys, 192.168.1.0 for D-Link, 192.168.2.1 for Belkin. For others you can search online for manufacturers access codes. Once logged in you need to ensure that under Firewall MAC Address Filtering is enabled, WAN Ping is Blocked. If you are running Windows (any version) and have a separate Firewall, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Security Center and ensure that the windows firewall is off. If you don't have a separate firewall ensure it is on and in 'Advanced' Tab ensure 1394 Connection and Local Area Connection are ticked. If you have a separate Firewall, ZoneAlarm, MacAfee, Norton, ensure that the IP Address is entered for your Network Connection. It will usually be something like 192.168.2.3/255.255.255.0 There should also be a LoopBack Adapter IP address similar to 127.0.0.1 There is a program that will set all of this up for you, details at <a href="http://cotojo.wordpress.com/2007/07/18/wireless-networking-magic/" rel="nofollow">Wireless Network Magic</a> Hope this helps :) Colin Sandy – It depends on which router you are using.

What does it mean when the warning pops up to say there is no firewall in place? How do they function that this can happen? I though I had them, and then the AVG warning came on. Simple me, I just don't get it. Thanks for this. What does it mean when the warning pops up to say there is no firewall in place? How do they function that this can happen?
