First thing - have your unit(s) behind the firewall. Right?
err...... I think so...   I'm using the one that comes with Windows 7

but I'm bet you will reprimand me for that....any recommendation?

Also, if I download a firewall....wouldn't it be for the computer??? the avalon connects by cable directly to the router. The computer can be turned off. So, how can I add a firewall to the avalon?

thanks!
Firewall on a computer protects only that computer.
Avalon is connected to the router, so you must setup (configure) a firewal rules on your router.
If you (your computer(s) and Avalon) are using private IP range (192.168.x.x), then you already are behind a firewall.
