File sharing is done over ports 137-139 and 445. I suggest setting LAN to
"trusted" or something.
And yes, alerts like that all the time can be normal at times. Windows
filesharing, i.e. the SMB or NetBIOS protocols, tend to be "noisy" on the
LAN, sending pings and broadcasts to each other. It's almost normal.
