Sharing folders does not work since installing comodo?!?

Hi all,

I have recently installed Comodo free firewall, which I find very good.

However since installing Comodo I cannot share any folders from within Widows 7 x64 ultimate.

I get the message "No more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper."

I have googled this, and tried several things all to no avail.

I don't particularly want to un-install Comodo, but I will if I cannot get sharing to work.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks in advance. R.

You need to make your local network a trusted zone.

How to make your local network a trusted zone.?

First look up your IP address and subnet mask. In Windows go to Start  --> Run --> cmd --> enter --> ipconfig --> enter --> now lookup your IP address and subnet mask.

Second create a zone in My Network Zones (Firewall --> Network Security policy). Choose Add --> A New Network Zone --> fill in a name like My local network --> Apply.  Now select My Local Network Zone --> Add --> A new address --> choose An IP Address Mask --> fill in your local IP something like 192.168.1.x usually and  your subnet mask; usually 255.255.255.0 --> Apply. Now check and see the new network defined. Exit using Apply.

Now we are going to use the Stealth Ports Wizard to make your local network a trusted network:
Choose "Define a new trusted network and stealth my ports to EVERYONE else" --> Next --> choose "I would like to trust an existing My Network Zone"  --> choose your local network zone from the drop down box at the bottom --> Finish.

Now check your Global Rules and see your network added.
