Detecting your Local Area Network

Normally your Local Area Network (LAN) should be detected and configured during the installation of Outpost Firewall. But if you deselected Auto-configure network settings option during the installation or/and removed all detected networks, then you will have to detect your LAN from the scratch in order to normally use the LAN.

To detect your network automatically:

1. Select Options

2. Select System

3. Press the Settings in the LAN Setting field.

4. You will see the LAN Settings dialog window

5. Press the Detect button to detect your LAN

6. Your LAN address will appear in the LAN Settings window.

Please note that your LAN is given NetBIOS access level by default. To learn more about how to change access levels please see Configuring network settings

7. Press OK

Note

In order to let Outpost Firewall automatically detect and auto-configure new Local Area Network and its settings make sure “Auto-detect new network settings” (at the bottom of the window) is check-marked.

In case if Outpost Firewall cannot detect your LAN automatically you can add the network address manually. For more info please see Adding network or host.
