I'm sorry I don't know a thing about networking. Did you click on the help button on the advanced security settings page? Looks like there may be some info there that might help you. You might try lowering your local security settings to low and see if that helps.

As far as those programs or services that try to connect to the internet are concerned, I have spent some time trying to figure out what they do and have not come up with much. Go to run and type in services.msc and you will see a list of the local services and a brief description of each. Go to the action menu and click on help and it will give you more info. I have several processes that listen to various ports that I have no clue about and can't find out anything. That generic Host process loads three times on my machine (according to ZA) and if I do not give it permission I am cut off from the net. Here's a link with some more info but when I tried this guy's settings I was blocked from the net again. I had to restore the default settings and everything seems to be ok.
