or should I try test my (hopefully) newfound wisdom with a summary post that you & Ewen (hopefully) give the thumbs up to?

Go for it! Then you can handle the next posting on "How do these rules work?". LOL

Don't delete/modify the above posts. It will help the others to understand better. Just make another one with the right settings.

And you are ready to make a guide like "creating and understanding the rules of N.M" 

good job

I'm not getting too excited; yet... as I still have one more chance to say something wrong

I'm not touching a thing, if anything I'll add a "skip to the real answer" link onto the first post of this thread so people can choose to wade through my mistakes... or jump to the answer at the end of this thread

Congratulations Daniel. Please raise your table tray and return your seats to the upright position. You are are cleared for landing in Propellor-head Land. 

Well done! Now about ICMP and BGP protocol filtering and sniffing .......

Doh!  And here I thought I could rest on my laurels for at least a week... breaks over eh?

BGP uses TCP 179 for its route advertisements (can be configured to use UDP 179, but it's uncommon). But regular computers hardly ever see any of those requests
As for ICMP, there's a lot of sites out there explaining their types and codes. Just remember to grab a hot cup of coffee before you start reading up on it

m0ng0d, panic & pandlouk,

I'm brand new to Comodo - been using Zone Alarm Pro & ZASS for a number of years & I'm just learning to configure our home LAN (Belkin router) using Comodo. The information you folks have provided is invaluable & thoroughly appreciated. Thank you.

The thing I dont understand is why when you create rules do the network settings and component settings have to be configured individualy ? Maybe the way a computer works, the network and component settings are complently seperate programs but coouldnt the firewall merge the different aspects into a single config window that each item has access to/from the internet ?

Maybe Iam mis-understanding somthing..
