I install comodo CIS and since i cant access my servers, it comes up with A error occured while connection to Q:\ The network path was not found.
If i turn off CIS they are there again all oks. i have been in to my network zones and added the 2 ip address’s the servers are on and rebooted with no joy. Please can someone help me…
As a test, can you try adding two rules ( one for IN and one for OUT) using the zone for your servers to
FIREWALL → ADVANCED → NETWORK SECURITY POLICY → GLOBAL RULES
The parameters for the rules are as follows
Action : ALLOW
Direction : IN
Protocol : IP
Description : WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT
Source IP : ZONE → YOUR DEFINED SERVER ZONE
Destination IP : ZONE → YOUR DEFINED SERVER ZONE
IP Details : ANY
Action : ALLOW
Direction : OUT
Protocol : TCP/UDP
Description : WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT
Source IP : ZONE → YOUR DEFINED SERVER ZONE
Destination IP : ZONE → YOUR DEFINED SERVER ZONE
IP Details : ANY
You could get away with a single IN/OUT rule, but I prefer separate rules so you can turn logging on for a particular direction if you need to troubleshoot.
Please ensure that these two newly created rules are above any blocking rules - preferably move them to the top of the rules list (as rules are interpreted from top to bottom).
These two rules will allow unrestricted traffic between all IP addresses within the defined zone.
Hope this helps,

I have tried this and doesnt work :-[ i still have to turn off the firewall to access my buffalo servers.
“buffalo” as in Buffalo NAS-type device?
If so, NAS type devices can be a PITA to set up. Some (including Apple and D-Link) needs to have blocking of frgamented packets turned off to work.
This is found in FIREWALL → ADVANCED → ATTACK DETECTION SETTINGS → MISCELLANEOUS
Try turning this off, rebooting and see if this allows the NAS’s to connect.
Also, does you PC use DHCP?
