Could someone from Symantec explain how file and printer sharing, network discovery, and firewall access are affected by the Protected and Restricted Trust Control settings?
Also, the Network and Sharing Center control panel in Vista and Windows 7 shows file sharing and network discovery as being turned ON. How do I turn them OFF, or should I ignore the settings in this control panel when using NIS?
Last, what is the difference between Trust Control's Remote Monitoring and Network Discovery? Does turning ON Remote Monitoring also turn ON Network Discovery? When Remote Monitoring is OFF, can I assume Network Discovery is OFF if I'm using Protected or Restricted trust control?
If you are not sharing files or printers, just an internet connection, you can add the device, laptop or desktop to Norton, click the plus sign under total in network, identify it and set the trust level. You would not need to add that kind of connection to the Home Group, so sharing in Windows would be turned off.
You can leave the network map on in Windows but it doesn't show the computers that are not part of the homegroup.

Microsoft OS (Vista and Win7) will turn on the File and Printer sharing automatically IF the Windows Firewall is turned OFF and also vis versa (turning the Windows Firewall ON will allow you to turn OFF File and Printer Sharing). You have to have a third party firewall that will handle all three objects (firewalling, File Sharing and Printer Sharing) to actually effectly have File Sharing OFF and Printer Sharing OFF no matter what the OS Security Center says. The third party Firewall (in this case Norton's Smart Firewall included in NIS and N360) sits on top of the Windows Firewall and handles all the network traffic / configurations. The picture below shows that N360 v4 (or NIS2010) has total control over the Windows Firewall. The settings for the Norton Firewall are what is controlling the traffic; not the Windows Firewall.
