How to enable Network Neighborhood access with Sygate Personal Firewall.
Here you can choose options for your NIC (Network Interface Card(s)) that relate to the Network Neighborhood part of the OS. It is very straight forward.
Allow to browse Network
Neighborhood files and printer(s) allows or blocks the selected NIC from seeing Network Neighborhood.
Allow others to share my files and printer(s) allows or blocks you from sharing your files or printers over this NIC with others online.
IF YOU DO NOT CHECK ALLOW TO BROWSE NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD FILES AND PRINTER(S) THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR OWN NETWORK! IF YOU DON'T CHECK ALLOW OTHERS TO SHARE MY FILES AND PRINTER(S) THEN NO OTHER COMPUTERS CAN SEE/SHARE YOUR FILES OR PRINTERS, INCLUDING OTHER COMPUTERS ON YOUR OWN NETWORK!
If you don't have a network, are not on a network, or for whatever reason do not need to use a network then disable all options for all NIC in this section. Why? Because, if you don't know what you are doing setting up a network, you can easily and will most likely just open holes in your system. A badly configured network makes you easy to track and hack. A badly configured network ensures you will broadcast who you are everywhere you go and never come up stealth anywhere. If you are unsure about these settings PLEASE ASK @ Sygate Support Forums If you don't need networking then go ahead and disable it in the OS.
Thankx For giveing me some more experience using Sygate Personal Firewall and enjoy sharing this information.
