Hi,
I am using a wizard to setup my wireless base station. All the steps in the
wizard were succesfull - internet connection was recognized, base station
was recognized, I entered all the settings (including WEP settings), and
when it came to the last step - saving sattings to the base station, it
failed, with message about possible firewall, which is disabled.
What could be the problem, and how to solve it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx.

Andrej,
Are you running a software firewall on your computer? If so, disable it.
I could not tell from your posting whether or not the firewall was in the
router or the computer.
Later,
Randy

Thanx Randy, but no, I am not running software firewall. I don't know if it
appears to the wizard that there is firewall present....
