Firewall Settings

Typically a company's IT department deals with setting up and/or configuring a company-wide Firewall.  However, when at home, you may have installed a Firewall or are using the Windows XP SP2 built-it firewall.  In these cases, you may need to configure your Firewall for Maintenance Connection to work properly.  Maintenance Connection is an application that is "firewall friendly" meaning it runs over Port 80 and/or 443 and does not use any ActiveX or Java Applets.

Please select your firewall below:
