Dennis,

ICF/ICS should be Started and Automatic.

With ZAP, "Trusted Zone Security = Medium" = "Access to Windows services, file
and printer shares is allowed.".

Do you have a wired or wireless LAN? If a wired LAN, where YOU control the
network, you're safe enough setting the Trusted Zone = the subnet. From your
description of "a small number of laptops and desktops" I was thinking a
wireless LAN. If a wireless LAN, I urge you to protect yourself a bit more
carefully, including individual, fixed ip addresses on all computers (not just
wireless computers), and open ZAP only to those assigned addresses.
