    I really can't answer your question, because I'm very new to any kind of network, but by the term "hidden", I get the impression that means encrypted as might be used in WIFI. I don't know which firewall that you use, but I know that in Outpost's LAN settings, there is individual options to enable NAT Zone and IPv6, which I think are required...just a thought.
