I purchased a Linksys media adapter (wma11b) and connected it on my wireless
network (I know...i should have a media center pc instead, but cost is a
factor at the moment). In order for it to connect to my XP Home SP2 pc I
have to disable the windows firewall. After contacting Linksys to find out
what to add to the exceptions list in xp, they informed me " no, you need to
disable the Windows firewall to use our product...you do not need it on".
OK, I'm no dummy (am I ?). I have a DLink DI-624 router with firewall type
services on it, but should I not have XP firewall ENABLED for best protection?
How in the world can Linksys say I don't need it and to disable it...or am i
crazy and really should disable it?
I'd really like some comments back. Just seems strange to me. You'd think
Linksys would make their products 100% compatible with Microsoft.
Thanks
