With Onecare set up as a circle, one computer being set up as hub, the
hub gets a notice if another's AV or firewall is off. I was recently
reinstalling some software on a non-hub client and turned it off, so
got the warning.

I turned AV on remotely with a click of a button. I clicked the button
for firewall and it turned on for the remote computer, but the hub
still shows it 'in progress'. It never changes to green. Does anyone
have a clue why that's happening? I have NetNanny installed on the
non-hub computers but get the same result with it turned off.

Where does the hub get the status of other computers in the circle?
From a Live server? Or from the other PCs directly? I can't see how
the latter scenario would work if remote computers are mobile. It's
more realistic for the clients to each report to a server, and for the
hub to report the status gotten from it.

Thanks in advance.
