Set internet to high security, trusted to medium. Trusted is mainly things on your local LAN.
Turn off intrusion warning. It gets annoying after about 10 minutes.
Whenever you get a box asking if a program should be able to access the internet, make sure its a program you know about (post if unsure). Things like explorer should be let through.
Something like messenger or kazaa have to be let through, and allowed to act as server. (acting as server means letting the internet connect to them rather than they connect to the internet - essential for recieving messages and for sharing files in kazaa)
The netbios thingie from the internet probably means someone is trying to access your HDD. Or maybe its just a port scanner. either way, they have Zero chance of getting any of your info while ZA is active, so its not worth worrying about.
Nactrafe - does ZA pro let me close off a specific IP on the internet? I want to block a certain popup server which is called from hyperboards, proboards and all over the place, and I figure if I close off that IP it should stop their script loading.
