Adding trusted sites

You can add Web sites you know to be safe to the Trusted Site list and the Personal Firewall will not block these.

To permit other users to access your computer over a network (typically a LAN), on the Trusted Sites List, select the check box of your network adapter card, and then click Apply.

To add a trusted site:

  1. On the PC-cillin window, click Settings. The Settings window appears.

  2. On the Settings menu, click the Personal Firewall link. The menu expands.

  3. Click the Trusted Sites link. The Trusted Sites screen appears.

  4. Click Add. The IP Settings dialog box appears.

  5. In the Description box, type a description of the trusted site you are adding.

  6. In the Type box, select a definition type, and do the following:

  • HostName: in the HostName box type the host name of the trusted site, and then click Resolve to view the IP address.

  • IPAddress: in the IPAddress box type the IP address of the trusted site.

  • IPRange: in the IPAddrFrom and IPAddrTo boxes, type the range of IP addresses that are considered safe.

  • Subnet: in the IPAddress box type the IP address and in the Netmask box type the subnet address for the safe site.

  1. Click OK. If you select the check box next to the trusted site, the site is "trusted" and considered safe. If you clear the check box the site is not "trusted".

  2. Click Apply.

Note: If you have trouble using resources on a network, (printer or other computers), add the subnet mask to the Trusted Sites List.
