Update Your Firewall's Trusted Program List

The Software Installation Disc installs several programs that enable your computer to

communicate with the HP Data Vault over your network. Software firewalls installed on your

computer can block this communication and prevent the computer from locating the HP Data

documentation for details on how to do this.
