CIS 4 - Windows 7 x86 - No Internet Connection - SOLVED

Comodo Internet Security - CIS Firewall Help - CIS

Hello everyone,

I am a Comodo user since version 2 and I got much help in minor problems by searching through the forums. However, this time I could not find any relevant information about my problem so I decided to post here for help. I have installed Windows 7 x86 on my Lenovo 3000 N200 laptop. Immeadiately, I have installed latest CIS 4 only with firewall option. And I could not connect to the internet, neither through LAN at office nor through wireless at home. I have also installed the latest dirver for wireless, still no success. I have tried installing CIS 4 with “run as administartor” and in “vista compatibility” modes. But still the same result. I have also run the Comodo diagnostcs bu the program did not detect anything. So, I uninstalled CIS 4 and the computer could connect to the internet without any problem. Definitely CIS 4 was the source of problem. Then I have installed Online Armor just to check whether Windows 7 does like 3rd party firewalls or not. However, Online Armor did not cause any connection problems. Now I am running Online Armor on my machine. However, I want to go back to Comodo as soon as possible if you could help me solve the problem. Thanks everyone in advance…

I have re-installed Windows and Comodo. However, still the same result. Does aynone have any suggestion?

Did CIS report a new network found? If so, how did you answer?
If not, go to More/Settings/General tab. Make sure ‘Automatically Detect New Private Networks’ is checked.
Click ‘OK’ and restart your computer.
It should find your home network (Wireless, I gather from your post) upon logging in.

Thanks a lot, John. Comodo did actually find my home network. I get connected to my home network however, I cannot access internet. Worse than that my computer freezes immediately after booting. I quickly exit Comodo after boot up. Only this way I could avoid freezing. I have uninstalled Comodo altoguh I was too happy with it. I had a similar experience with one of v3 releases and Vista constantly getting BSOD immediately after login. After several releases I tried v3 again and I could successfully use Comodo. Most probably it has something to do with the hardware altough I am always using the latest drivers. I hope it would be fixed in time after sevral releases. Thank you very much for the reply anyway, John.

What Global rules did the firewall create?

Hi John,

Thank you very much for your reply. I solved the problem. I am using G Data Antivirus Client. I could connect to the internet when I unchecked the Options–>Web/IM Filter–>Process Internet Content box. When I have installed Online Armor this box was checked, too. However, seems like Online Armor and this combination can somehow connect to the internet. However, I was experiencing slow connection and Firefox was not launching very easily. Now, everything seems to be OK. Though, I could not understand the reason of this problem because on Vista I was using Comodo FW with this option of GData checked. I am back to Comodo again! :slight_smile: Thank you very much for your help.
