Yes, but a proxy server or firewall that has not been reconfigured can limit some HotOffice functionality, such as web-based installation, document publishing, and email attachments. Since a proxy server or firewall is designed to block outside access to a network, including access to your HotOffice, your company's system administrator must grant HotOffice access through its firewall by opening the passageway.

Yes. If you have more than one computer in a home or small-office network, you should protect every computer in the network. Turning on Windows Firewall or another firewall on every connection will help prevent the spread of a virus from one computer to another in your network if one of your computers becomes infected. However, if you open an infected e-mail attachment, the firewall won't block it and it can infect your computer. You should install an antivirus program as well.

A proxy server or firewall that has not been reconfigured can limit some TrainingDepartment.com™ functionality, such as Web-based installation, course authoring, student record-keeping and some learner’s response tools and testing. Since a proxy server or firewall is designed to block outside access to a network, including access to your TrainingDepartment.com™, your company's system administrator must grant TrainingDepartment.

All computers in your home network should be protected by a firewall. A firewall helps to prevent the spread of viruses or worms across your network if they infect one computer. A computer on the network could also become infected through a separate Internet connection, such as a laptop that is used on your home network and on public networks. Or, a virus could be introduced to a computer on your network through software installed from a CD or floppy disk.

Provided your network is 802.11b compliant, with 11 Mbps or 2 Mbps access points, it is likely you can use the existing network. It will be necessary to conduct an RF survey to check RF coverage because the radio reception of a belt worn unit can differ from that of hand held or truck mounted terminals.

A firewall will help protect a computer on a wireless network, but will not restrict access to the network itself. You should configure your wireless network to use a network key using either Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or wired equivalent privacy (WEP). For more information, see How to keep others from hijacking your home wireless network or consult the manual for your wireless networking devices.

Thruport HotOffice will support Macintosh on Netscape 4.77+ or IE 5.1+. While HotOffice may work fine on UNIX operating systems, we do not support UNIX at this time. UNIX support is being evaluated at this time and support for UNIX will be announced in the near future.

Some students who have Cable Modem service or use a network have indicated problems accessing the Desire2Learn Log In page or class sites. In most cases, the problem was traced to the default settings as High Security. Because Firewalls monitor risky connections, you may need to reset the overall settings to Medium-High or Medium. Make sure that you are not blocking all ports, and if problems persist, power down the firewall and restart your system.

Yes, as long as the firewall allows normal http and SSL (secure sockets layer) connections. RelationshipSecure uses regular "http" and "https" requests to set up mailings and transmit faxes via the Internet. The 407 error is generally associated with using a proxy server. Check with your network administrator about the settings of your proxy server. Your administrator may need to change the settings for www.relationshipsecure.com so .exe files can be downloaded.

Yes. Windows XP users who want different features in a firewall may use a hardware firewall or a software firewall from another company. For special offers on antivirus and firewall packages, visit our Security software: Downloads and trials page. No. Running multiple software firewalls is unnecessary for typical home computers, home networking, and small-business networking scenarios.

Yes. You should turn on the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall for all computers in your home network. This helps prevent the spread of viruses or worms across your network if a computer is infected. A computer on the network could become infected through a separate Internet connection, such as one on a laptop that is used on your home network and on public networks. Or a virus could be introduced to a computer on your network by way of e-mail or software installed from a CD or floppy disk.

You need a Java-enabled browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 or greater, or Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4.5 or greater (excluding beta versions).

Yes. If you have multiple network connections on any of your computers, you should turn on the firewall for each connection. If you're running Windows XP SP2, Windows Firewall is turned on automatically and it should not interfere with common tasks like file and print sharing. If you're not running Windows XP Service Pack 2, Internet Connection Firewall can interfere with file and print sharing and prevent your computer from finding other network devices.

Yes; you can use TCP forwarding for that, by using its secure TCP forwarding features. You can also tunnel through another open port through the firewall (I'm sure all those system admins love me now :-) by running a daemon on the remote side on a port that's allowed through a firewall, like SSL (port 443).

Socks 4 and 5 support should work in 1.2.16 or later. Socks support in version 2.0.11 and later should work.

Although we use the Ethernet protocol between the video card and LCD touch-screens, it is at the physical layer and not compatible with home Ethernet networks. We provide power over the CAT5 cable to power the LCD's, and this is also not compatible with Ethernet networks and may in fact damage networking equipment.

The OpenData system is designed to be installed on a standard IP network, thereby eliminating additional expenses involved in installing and maintaining two networks. The system can be hosted on the corporate LAN/WAN or on a private network for additional security. The network load generated by the OpenData system is insignificant.

A firewall is a system or group of systems that enforces an access control policy between two or more networks. The actual means by which this is accomplished varies widely, but in principle, the firewall can be thought of as a pair of mechanisms: one which exists to block traffic, and the other which exists to permit traffic. Some firewalls place a greater emphasis on blocking traffic, while others emphasize permitting traffic.

If you can access a podcast host through your web browser by normal means, you should be able to listen to that podcast.

One of the most frustrating tasks in setting up a network is getting computers with different firewall settings to communicate with each other. Network Magic makes it easy by automatically detecting the different firewalls, like Symantec/Norton, McAfee and Zone Alarm, and walking you through the key settings you need to adjust to allow your computers to communicate with each other.

A NAT is often used between private networks (like those used at home or at work) and the Internet to map a private IP address to a public IP address. Routers and software gateways (such as Internet Connection Sharing in Windows) usually also function as NATs. Firewalls, on the other hand, filter access to protected networks. Netphone2phone works with most NATs and firewalls without any additional setup.

Because the Actiontec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway uses NAT firewall security, it is not necessary to use any other program for security. The use of third party firewall or Internet security software is not recommended, as certain programs will create problems on a private network (BlackIce Defender, Norton Internet Security, and ZoneAlarm, for example).

Think of eBLVD as you think of accessing secure 128-bit SSL web pages. A sophisticated hacker could intercept your web session but would only see encrypted data. The hacker would need to decode each individual stream of data and reassemble it to be able to view the data. This is virtually impossible.

A NAT is often used between private networks (like those used at home or at work) and the Internet to map a private IP address to a public IP address. Routers and software gateways (such as Internet Connection Sharing in Windows) usually also function as NATs. Firewalls, on the other hand, filter access to protected networks. PalCalls works with most NATs and firewalls without any additional setup.

Yes, you can. Be advised that any switches or routers on an existing network must be configured to pass UDP messages. (Some switches and routers will not pass UDP messages by default.)

Yes. You will need one of our wireless range extenders which will service as the Internet source which you plug into the WAN port of your router. This arrangement is very similar to connecting to a cable or DSL modem, you just connect to TexMesh range extender instead.

Florian Xaver postet a list of intersting DOS network links to the FreeDOS mailing list: http://www.freedos.org/freedos/news/technote/157.html. Thanks a lot!

We use the latest Internet technologies to create your HotOffice. These include dynamically generated web pages, Java server applications, encryption components and high-performance databases implemented on a fault-tolerant, highly scaleable distributed system. Our servers have very high-speed direct and redundant connections to the Internet. The server equipment is located in secure data centers with uninterrupted power supply, and a generator-backed power system.

No. VPN provides security by encrypting and decrypting data that passes through a VPN connection; it does not offer protection from viruses or other malware.
