Windows XP Home Firewall and Linksys WMA11B
I implemented the XP firewall on the network card in my
computer. The network card is hard-wired (ethernet
connection) to a Linksys BEFW11S4 4-port wireless
router. The router connects to my cable modem and that
goes out to the Internet. I have done all of this to
establish solid firewall protection (software and
hardware).
I have also implemented the Linksys WMA11B wireless media
adapter to play MP3 music files through my home theater
system (works really well).
Unfortunately, I must disable the XP software firewall
each time I want to use the media adapter (the media
adapter host connection can not be made through the
software firewall).
Does anyone have a solution (reconfigure router/cable
modem/network card connections, different firewall
software, etc.) that will permit the media adapter and
firewall software to co-exist?
