TEG Reader Comments about Network Location Awareness (NLA)
service.
11/06/2002
From: Patrik
The Network
Location Awareness service doesn't just have to do with
internet connection sharing but also with the built in
firewall so you should suggest this service to be
automatic as well.
TEG: I agree that
Internet Connection Firewall is also impacted by NLA and
if you use ICF setting it to Automatic won't hurt a thing.
