Would McAfee firewall stop my hp 5200C scanner from responding and scanning? If I
disable the VS can it still interfere with my scanner?
Dell desktop, Win98se, McAfee 9, IE6

Is it a network scanner? If so, you just need to set it's IP address
to allow access. If it's USB/Parallel based, a firewall shouldn't
interfere at all.
