Hi Dr Bob,
I really appreciate the time you're taking here. I went to
Options|Policy, but this popped up a dialog box that allowed me to
select which firewall policy I could use. There were five icons, "Allow
most", "Rules wizard", etc. Nothing there about Trusted Zone. Couldn't
see anywhere to set IP addresses in this section either.
Did I miss something here ? Thanx again
