HP Slate 500 Tablet PC - Manual (Page 52)

Using firewall software
When you use the Slate for e-mail, network, or Internet access, unauthorized persons may be able to
gain access to the Slate, your personal files, and information about you. Use the firewall software
preinstalled on the Slate to protect your privacy.
Firewall features include logging and reporting of network activity, and automatic monitoring of all
incoming and outgoing traffic. Refer to the firewall user guide or contact your firewall manufacturer for
more information.
NOTE: Under some circumstances a firewall can block access to Internet games, interfere with
printer or file sharing on a network, or block authorized e-mail attachments. To temporarily resolve the
problem, disable the firewall, perform the task that you want to perform, and then reenable the
firewall. To permanently resolve the problem, reconfigure the firewall.
