Adapting the firewall
The firewall remains active, the option "Don’t allow exceptions" is deactivated:
• In the "Exceptions"-tab, add the I/O-ASSISTANT to "Programs and Services".
• Pressing the button "Add Program..." opens the dialog "Add a Program". Select the I/O-
ASSISTANT from the list of installed programs.
• If necessary, use the button "Browse..." to choose the file "IOassistant.exe" from the instal-
lation directory of the software.
• Despite an active firewall, the I/O-ASSISTANT is now able to browse the network for hosts
and the address changing via the software is possible for the connected nodes.
