I finally found why my firewall software has difficulty filtering connection in W7. Here you can read why:

Download this document. It says that W7 will have imcompatiblity issues with for example firewall software when internet connection using Mobile Broadband devices:

Is COMODO aware of this?

Hello everybody

does the latest Version 4.0.141842.828 of CIS released on 12 April, 2010 fix this "Big Bug" ?

Please anyone who has tested this version put on your comments and enlighten us.

I asked the dev , with whome I am in conntact about this issue, and he said that the new driver is not been released in the new version... and he doent know why and when it will be.

I surely can understand why. Mobile Broadband in W7 works quite differently that other network connections. So all filtering functions must be rewritten to parse Mobile Broadband raw IP. New features of NDIS 6.2 must be implemented.

I think Microsoft made a BIG mistake changing the connections work. They should have documented it more clearly and should have given alert to the developers. MANY users use Mobile Broadband. THose who use external USB 3G may not be affected since they use propiertary software for creating connection, not W7 Mobile Broadband feature.

jarmomak,

you dont understand that is it not about Mobile Broadband!!! ... at least what I was discussing with the dev. So maybe that your issue is different one than mine

[jarmomak]

Oh yes! I may understand that YOUR problem is not Mobile Broadband.
But: you should note that I have posted to this topic before you have reported your problem here.

We may have similar symptoms though the cause may be different.  Mine are clearly related to Mobile Broadband, since dialup connection filtering works ok. Only W7 Mobile Broadband feature is problem in my case.

Please try not to be so jealous about your problem! I think devs will look for both of our problems as well. There is rooms for both here, aren't there! Even in the same topic... So - keep it calm

I am not jelous
But the name of the topic doesnt point to the issue with the mobile broadband, but it is global. So I think my problem is global and when it is solved than your also be solved...who knows.

so, till the next fix...
