"Noob" install VIDEO guide.

Here is a video guide for a basic install of Comodo Firewall Pro.
If you are new to Comodo this should hopefully help you.
Go to http://www.nordicnature.net/tutorials/index.html
and click the "noob" install guide link.

Good luck!

Great video! Too bad I saw it after I installed and configured cpf.
I have one question regarding Network monitor rules for LAN:
instead of two rules

    allow   IP out      source:any         dest:Zone
    allow   IP in         source: Zone     dest:any,

can I have just one

    allow   IP in/out   source: Zone     dest: Zone ?

And for the outbound TCP/UDC traffic from my computer to the rest of the Internet, ther already is a rule set by the cpf.
I've set up my configuration that way, and it works. Maybe I'm missing someting?

My "network" consists of one PC and a router

You should keep the In and Out rules separate.

So the only rules you don't have as default, is that you have merged that IP In/Out?

You should keep the In and Out rules separate.

So the only rules you don't have as default, is that you have merged that IP In/Out?

Yes, I added just this rule, to prevent cpf from blocking the communication in my LAN (between my PC and the router). Would it be better to make two rules, as in the video? If so, would you be so kind to explain why? 

[AOwL]

There has been some issues for users that have some rules in network or application monitor in the same In/Out.
It's also easier to know if "destination" is you or the internet if you have separate rules.

You can always add a zone at anytime, and modify/delete it in security/tasks.

In application monitor you can have separate rules for in and out for a application instead of a In/Out-any-any.
You can have it like Out-any-any, and In-zone-port 80
That will make it a little more tighter.

If your way works for you, you can have it like that.

dhac,

What browser are you using?
What settings do you have - to block cookies, images, scripts, etc?

I just accessed the video tutorial using firefox, and had no problem.
