Re: BZ Kerio 2x Default Replacement Update
Guys, I'm a bit confused.
In our LAN, we use TCP/IP for internet and IPX for the LAN. File sharing is NOT enabled over TCP/IP. Under that scenario, do the settings under the "Microsoft Networking" tab have any effect? I have always used the "For Microsoft Networking, use these rules" checkbox, but I have never been sure it had any relevance on a system where NETBIOS is NOT enabled over TCP/IP.
If those settings do NOT affect IPX LAN traffic, then I also assume I can leave them in place in case one of our PCs is accidentally left with NETBIOS enabled over TCP/IP. It happened just last week on my laptop because Billy defaults everything to enabled.
Do I got it right?

| The MS tab covers netbios, and attempts to control access to shares with netbios over tcp/ip. Also these rules are made to work with netbios configurations since that is what most people run.
I'm not familiar with ipx configurations, but if it uses normal ip addressing then you likely would have to use some lan allow rules. If it works like NetBeui then it would run as its own protocol, separate from those rules, and settings.
If netbios is enabled on one of your machines, you could leave it enabled if you have to in the case where the rules/settings are not needed, but it obviously would only talk to other machines for shares access that run netbios. In this case I wouldn't have them enabled at all, and just keep track of the port 137-139 hits on your other machines as it will try to advertise itself.
