I just got a new laptop and I want to use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection but the instruction guide is telling me to turn off the Firewall temporarily.

Would turning off Firewall temporarily would DAMAGE MY computer. I think I could scan later with my Norton 360.

Well, I'm not an expert, but I've had to turn off my Firewall temporally before, and nothing bad has happened. As long as its not for a long period of time, and you aren't just surfing the web while its down (or clicking on suspicious links/messages), it should be fine. Doing a scan after you're finished would help as well.

Thanks. I crashed my old Desktop maybe because I had Internet opened.

Yeah, you do have to be careful, because there are lots of viruses floating around, but if you're just taking down the Firewall to set up your Wi-Fi, it should be okay.

I have the official... It doesn't work on my vista, so I have to use it on my family's XP

I don't remember having to put the firewall down, but maybe I just forgot.

You really don't need it. All you need is wireless internet.
