Setting Network security options

Automatic network detection helps you configure your Trusted Zone easily so that traditional local network activities such as file and printer sharing aren't interrupted. Zone Labs security software detects only networks that you are physically connected to. Routed or virtual network connections are not detected.

You can have Zone Labs security software silently include every detected network in the Trusted Zone; or ask you in each case whether to add a newly detected network.

To specify Network settings:

Select Firewall|Main.


Click Advanced.


In the Network settings area, choose your security settings.
Include networks in the Trusted Zone upon detection	Automatically moves new networks into the Trusted Zone. This setting provides the least security.
Exclude networks from the Trusted Zone upon detection	Automatically blocks new networks from being added to the Trusted Zone and places them in the Internet Zone. This setting provides the most security.
Ask which Zone to place new networks in upon detection	Zone Labs security software displays a New Network alert or the Network Configuration Wizard, which give you the opportunity to specify the Zone.



Click OK.
