    I have never used the firewall program, but here is a link to the support forum for the program. You might find the answer to your question there.

    Hallo,

    apart from the usual setting up of the network in windows you have to allow NetBios traffic in Outpost for your LAN adapter. I do not have the programme installed right now so I don't recall the exact names for the menus, but if you look through the settings you'll find the option.

    Go to 'options' and select 'system'. Click on 'settings' for 'LAN'. In there it should list your LAN settings, if not click on 'detect'. Once it has been detected and shows up tick the box under 'netbios'. You should now be able to communicate with the other computers on your lan assuming the other computers have been set to allow netbios as well.
