I do not use the particular fire wall that you are talking about, but
all of the other personal (for home use) fire walls that I have
encountered allow you to specify applications whose internet access will
not be blocked. I believe this is what you would have to do in order to
prevent this problem from reoccurring. It's not something that APH can
resolve for you, since the problem is that your fire wall is more than
likely attempting to block the action that you are trying to take by
downloading the firmware.

Subject: [bookport] Is There a Better Way?
Hi all. I just downloaded and installed both the software and firmware
updates for book port. Here's why the subject is a question. I use
Sygate
free personal firewall and enjoy the fact that in most cases I don't
have
problems with it running in the background protecting my computer.
However,
in order to get the book port transfer software to recognize the updated
firmware I had to disable Sygate in order for the firmware to be
downloaded
and installed thus compromising my computer. Wouldn't the good folks at
APH
be able to resolve this disconcerting problem? I tried alt-tabbing
after
launching the updated transfer software and this time Sygate would not
gain
focus using Window-eyes. Once I disabled Sygate and heard its dire
warning,
the transfer software opened and spoke as it normally does and should
and I
could then download and install the firmware. Surely APH could make it
possible so that I don't have to disable Sygate every time I update the
transfer software, can't they?
