is safe to unblock the communications because no connection or communication with the Internet
is enabled, only those between the server and its software applications. After unblocking an
application, if any software is reinstalled, moved to a new disk location, or if the application is
deleted from the exception list using the Windows XP Security Center control panel,
communications between that software and the server may once again be blocked by the firewall.
Configure your firewall to allow any HP MediaSmart or Windows Home Server applications.
Why is the Network Connection Light Off?
To determine why the network connection light is off:
•
Make sure that all the cable connections are correctly plugged in.
•
Make sure the router or switch has power.
•
Restart the router or switch (or unplug and plug it back in).
•
If you are using your own Ethernet cable, try using the Ethernet cable that came with the HP
MediaSmart Server.
The Firewall is Blocking the Connection
If using a firewall program, configure it to allow any HP MediaSmart or Windows Home Server
applications.
For instructions to unblock, see the software vendor's documentation.
For information about firewall blocking alerts, see
