You are correct, that's a Windows 7 machine. I always go to Network and sharing center and set my internet connection as Public network with all the advanced sharing settings turned off. Maybe it has reverted back for some reason ... I will check. But still, Eset option to evaluate local Windows Firewall rules, that states "In automatic mode, incoming traffic allowed by local Windows Firewall rules is also allowed by ESET, unless there are specific ESET rules explicitly blocking the traffic." is turned on. Also there is no option to set Network connection profiles in that version.

So, these two rules don't do anything. I tried most of the options for the so called trusted zone and they are hit and miss. The one above these two works as expected, if unchecked all outgoing echo request return "General failure", but I'm interested in those that block or don't allow different types of inbound requests. Version: 16.0.26.0 here and there is no right click for less/more column options.

Thanks, I will look more into it. One more question, what is the exact purpose of the marked firewall rule in the screenshot I posted? It's unchecked, but I still get ping responses.

It's a long story, but yeah, I want to make it look like there is no device at that IP, if possible.

ICMP communication in trusted zones is disabled, so maybe ARP?

Hello, I need help to set firewall rules to prevent other people on the internal network to be able to see one of the computers. Computer name, NetBios and manufacturer are hidden, but i can still see that there is machine with MAC address on that IP with tools like advanced ip scaner.
