For the DHCP IP(s) that can be issued by the router to a machine, you
should be able to rules for ZA on each machine about the other IP(s) that
can access the machine on ports 137-138 UDP, 139 TCP, and (445-NT based
only) TCP. Also, you may want to allow 192.168.1.1 to have access on all
ports on the machine, that will cut down on some of the traffic ZA may
report on.

You may want to look into the PerformRouterDiscovery setting on the O/S.
