Comodo and Remote Desktop

Help for v2
#1

Searching the forum before posting a query I find that this question remains unanswered and I now find myself in the same position. To simplify:

Two Internet-connected PCs at different locations, both running XP and Comodo firewall.

One of those PCs needs to be able to establish a Remote Assistance/Remote Desktop session with the other when invited to do so.

What are the Comodo implications at both ends?

I believe the port number for remote desktop is 3389.

Answer in some detail please as I am not yet very familiar with Comodo.

Thanks in advance,

You can have a try on Gooer Remote Desktop Service(http://www.gooer.com), it works fine in our company.

Well, I guess you can do it a few different ways. I tried it this way, but got complications I believe must be a limitation of Comodo Firewall though? Once I connected all the Comodo services stopped saying it can’t find the drivers, and please reinstall. I just rebooted it, and then it was fine again. But I guess I can’t RDP to my box anymore?

Anyways, the rules I setup to make the RDP work:

  1. Go to Network Monitor
  2. Add new Rule
  3. Source IP = Any or if you want to limit it to specific computer being able to connect to you
  4. Dest IP = Any (which would be itself anyway)
  5. Source Port = Any (needs to be Any since this is a dynamic port)
  6. Dest Port = Single Port 3389
  7. Make sure to push this rule you just created up the list above any blocking rules

Now what is up with Comodo crashing after I RDP to it?!

Billy,

Just curious. Did you try RDP yet? Did you have any problems with the firewall after you connected? Wondering if it’s just me…?

Thanks!

You also need to add a rule for svchost under application rules to allow TCP port 3389 IN along with the Network rule under Global Rules. I use Comodo on an admin machine and can remote in to that PC from any PC on the network.

I am using the beta firewall and not version 2.4 though.

Hope this helps.

There is a tutorial on setting up various remote connections in this thread:
