When using the Windows XP “Internet Connection Firewall” function  
Enabling the Windows XP “Internet Connection Firewall” function may prevent your  
computer from accessing a wireless network. (By default, this function is disabled on  
computers running the Windows XP operating system.) If this function is enabled, your  
computer may not be able to connect to your network when you change your access point  
settings. If this happens, disable the “Internet Connection Firewall” function, connect to the  
network, and then re-enable the function. For details, refer to Windows XP Help.

Note  
You do not need to turn off your computer when you insert the Wireless LAN PC Card.  
Network security is an important issue. Consider carefully how best to protect your computer.  
If your computer has several PC card slots  
When using a personal firewall function provided by virus scanning or  
network security software  
If you insert the Wireless LAN PC Card into a slot other than the one you usually use, the computer treats the  
card as a new device and automatically begins installing device drivers for it. Completing the driver  
installation makes it possible to use the Wireless LAN PC Card in that slot. Installation is performed  
automatically by the installation wizard.  
Virus scanning and network security software sometimes includes a function called a  
“personal firewall” that prevents illegal access by outside entities. Depending on the  
software, the security level of this function may be initially set to a high level. If this high  
security level setting is left in effect, it may be impossible for an outside entity to access  
your computer. This can cause problems such as not being able to connect to the network  
when changing the access point’s settings. In this event, lower the security level to permit  
the network connection. For details, refer to the documentation provided with your software.
