You could also have a look at Advanced/Options/TCP/IP Filtering. Haven't
played with this so don't know much about it, but it looks as if it may be
simple way to limit Netbios to the local lan. That said, it's written by MS
so I don't know if i'd trust it too much.

I'd start by having a look at Administrative Tools\Local Security Policy,
there's a load of stuff in there. I can't see anything in there that's
obvious on my system, but that doesn't mean something hasn't added stuff to
yours.
Then try typing gpedit.msc at a command prompt there's some networking stuff
in there.

Dunno. I don't use AtGuard myself as I have a NAT router and then a Linux
machine for things to get through before they'll get to see any of my
internal machines.
