Traffic Through 

IPSec Tunnel

This field is not available when the ZyWALL is in bridge mode.
NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) are TCP or UDP packets that 

enable a computer to find other computers. It may sometimes be necessary to 

allow NetBIOS packets to pass through VPN tunnels in order to allow local 

computers to find computers on the remote network and vice versa.
Select this check box to send NetBIOS packets through the VPN connection.
