Hi all,

I have had to turn off my computer's firewall so I could use the cellular network to access files on my home computer remotely using my
Z10.

I believe there is a way to avoid turning off the firewall completely and just allow it to make some exceptions. I would prefer this as it won't leave my computer so vulnerable. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming you're on Windows 7 or similar click on the start pearl and type
allow a program through windows firewall
into the search box, the applet will display above, click on it and you can add exceptions in there

Yes there is an allow list in Windows 7.

I am on Windows XP, but it should be the same steps.

Thanks for the advice.

So does this allow me to turn on the firewall so I am protected and also let me use cellular to connect through my files from my z10?
