If you want more flexible control of file and printer sharing on your
networks (for example, uni-directional NetBIOS traffic), you can do the
following:
- Allow file and printer sharing on other
LANs (Local Area Networks) than those in the LAN settings
list. This allows NetBIOS traffic on those LANs to be processed by the firewall
rules.
- Create high-priority global rules which
allow communication to/from hosts with the appropriate NetBIOS ports and
protocols. We recommend that you create global rules to explicitly block all
unwanted file and printer sharing traffic rather than let it be handled by the
default rule.
