independent checks for "netbios" and "trusted"

hi,

i would like to request that the "netbios" and 'trusted" have independent checks even when selecting" trusted" in firewall settings.

i wish to trust all except file and sharing.

thanks.

  • Hello Joco,

    while for the GUI it's "just" making two boxes independently selectable keep in mind that currently the LAN setting is "shorthand" for allowing traffic but not an allow/block decision (i.e. if it isn't  checked here the decision is deferred - likely to Block file and printer sharing for other networks but then it'd mean you are not using NetBIOS at all. The question is - and probably Sophos will ask it too - what is the "business requirement" here?
