It is strongly recommended that you use server software only when the server computer is not connected to the Internet or is connected to the Internet
through a router.
When connecting to the Internet through a router, configure the router to prevent unauthorized accesses from outside your local network. For more
information about configuring your router, refer to the manual that came with the router.
If you connect to the Internet through some router configurations, some software programs that require global IP addresses may not work properly.
Installing routers may not be permitted by some of the Internet service providers. For more information, consult your provider.
By default, the server software programs do not permit access from other devices on your network. To access the server from other devices on your
network, turn on access for those devices, and, if necessary, register the devices.
If the
Internet Connection Firewall (ICF)
feature of Windows
®
XP is enabled or if you are using other software that has personal firewall functions,
the server software programs may not work properly. Disable firewall functions for network connections that are not directly connecting to the
Internet.
To enable or disable ICF, proceed as follows:
1. Click
Start
and select
Control Panel
.
2. Double-click the
Network Connections
icon.
3. Select the Dial-up, LAN or High-Speed Internet connection that you want to protect, and then, under
Network Tasks
, click
Change settings of
this connection

4. On the
Advanced
tab,
under Internet Connection Firewall
, select one of the following:

from the Internet

- To disable Internet Connection Firewall, clear the checkbox.
In some situations, the server may not be found by VAIO Media or other devices on your network, even if the individual server software programs are
working properly. If this occurs, restart the server software by using the VAIO Media Console. If the problem persists, restart the server computer. If
the problem still occurs, restart the client software or the computer.
