Will adding the exception open myself up to legitimate attacks though?

No prob. This is what I got from the log file... 1/3/2014 1:29:24 PM Detected attack against security hole 192.168.1.250:445 192.168.1.137:64659 TCP Win32/Exploit.SMB.CVE-2012-4774 System 1/3/2014 1:29:24 PM Address temporarily blocked by active defense (IDS) 192.168.1.137 192.168.1.250 TCP

Awesome! Thanks a lot guys. Really appreciate the help.

Wow, thanks for the extremely fast respnse! I wasn't too sure how to verify if Freenas was part of the Trusted zone, so I went ahead with the other steps. After scanning again I noticed that the Nas' IP was indeed being added to the temporary IP blacklist. I added an exception to the address and I didn't get disconnected. Should this be enough to rectify the issue or is it just a temporary fix?

Hey all, I've been having an issue ever since installing Windows 8.1 Pro that I never had happen when using Windows 7. I have Smart Security 7 installed and configured to use Interactive mode. I have a Freenas machine set up with hundreds of movies which I view using XBMC. All works fine when viewing and playing the media normally, however when I scan the drives for new media, the connection to the machine is completely lost (mere seconds into the scan), and only comes back upon disabling the firewall. I also use a media manager to automatically download artwork for my movies before hand, and the same thing happens whenever I begin scanning the drives for new media. I'm at a loss as to what can rectify the problem and would appreciate any and all assistance given. Thanks.
