Okay, I uninstalled CFP 3.x--and then ran CCleaner to remove all leftover hangers-on. I reinstalled a freshly downloaded copy of the latest version from Comodo. Upon the first re-boot, CFP 3.x ran and behaved properly.
I shut down the PC, had lunch, and turned the machine back on. "Limited or no connection" icon was back, as was the request to accept the new IP address.
Whatever was added to the latest Feb. 13th update is the cause of this problem, for everything on two seperate PCs was working like a Swiss watch up until this latest release arrived. On the laptop, the auto-update killed off an already discussed DLL (which made launching/uninstalling the program impossible). When that little hiccup was fixed with a "transplant," it worked for a while--and then it simply killed off wireless/wired networking.
My desktop didn't share in the DLL "vanishing act," but its networking went adios shortly thereafter.
I'm giving the workaround a shot and will comment on this board whether or not it worked. In the meantime, can Comodo's crack staff give this latest version's updated code a good re-examination?
