Network DSL - Trusted or Internet 1

[d9085]

Hi...
I am using the standard SBC DSL Modem/Router and Zone Alarm Pro. I am confused. When I click Firewall and the Zones tab I see the Network DSL in the Trusted Zone. Is this correct? Since all I'm doing with the Modem/Router is accessing the Internet, shouldn't it be set to internet or does my connection through to SBC act as a network and therefor be trusted?

Please advise....

What it is seeing as "Trusted" is the network between you and the DSL Router.. the Internal LAN. The external connection from the DSL Router and SBC is considered "Internet".

It is fine to set it as Trusted, which is important for file sharing if you setup another machine at home and network them together.
