Can't acess Network Storage

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Firewall Help - CIS
#1

I have a western didgital network drive that appears in “My Computer”. After I installed commodo I can’t access the drive (screen shot attached).

I have a Laptop running xp & Zone Alarm and the drive is ok & accessable.

I went into Network Security Policies and tried to allow it but it came up with the same error as the screenshot.
I am running windows 7 home premium.

Thanks in Advance

Proceed by trial and error: fisrt disable defense+ and test, next re-enable defense+, disable the firewall, test again: you should see the culprit and have the blocking evenement if any logged.

Are all of your devices, including your network drive, in the same workgroup with static ip?

You may need 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 → Common Tasks). 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 (Firewall → Common Tasks):
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.
