Internet Connection Firewall Your gateway's firewall helps protect your com-
puter by preventing unauthorized users from gaining access to it through a network
such as the Internet. The firewall can be activated per network connection. To ena-
ble the firewall on this network connection, select the 'Enabled' check box. To learn
more about your gateway's security features, refer to Section 8.2.

9.4.10 Network Bridging
With the Network Bridging connection you can create a bridge over WAN and LAN
devices. This way computers on the Watson LAN side can get IP addresses that
are known on the WAN side.
9.4.10.1 Creation with the Connection Wizard
To configure an existing bridge or create a new one, perform the following:
1. Click the 'New Connection' link in the 'Network Connections' screen (see Figure
9-11). The 'Connection Wizard' screen appears (see Figure 9-12).
2. Select the 'Advanced Connection' radio button and click 'Next'. The 'Advanced
Connection' screen appears (see Figure 9-15).
3. Select the 'Network Bridging' radio button and click 'Next'. The 'Network Bridging'
screen appears allowing you to add new connections or remove existing ones,
by selecting or deselecting their respective check boxes. For example, check the
WAN and LAN check box to create a LAN-WAN bridge.
