Just installed comodo firewall pro 3 latest from main page after hearing good things about it, people saying its very light on sys resources and fast and powerful! I used to use zonealarm pro latest version all tweaked up and comodo is alot faster so far on default settings :o
But it seems to be blocking UDP port 67/68 for 255.255.255.255
First, go to the beta board and download the latest 3.0.14 which fixed many such issues.
Then if these are still blocked, we can help you set up rules to allow the DHCP broadcasts if necessary for your network, and zones you can address.
Thanks dennis, I installed the 3.0.14.273 version from the link and unfortunately still have the same problem.
Shall I reinstall the non-beta version again as this one hasn’t fixed it. Also could you guys help me set up the DHCP broadcasts for my network, and the zones.
Keep the 3.0.14 since that is what most of us are working with. Don’t know what your network looks like, but you can go to firewall/common tasks/stealth port wizard and define a trusted network there. You can also set up “zones” there that can be addressed as an entity when you make rules. I have one called DNS, for instance, so I can allow UDP to port 53 (and sometimes ICMP coming back). But see what the trusted network allows first.
Thanks i’ve added some trusted networks and enabled them through stealth port wizard and one for that IP trying to connect to 255.255.255.255 on UDP port 68 it has worked no more event logs from that
Could you check over the settings to see if its correct or needed…
The last image is from the 3.0.13 version. You didn’t allow an automatic update, did you-it’s broken. In any case, go to miscellaneous/manage my settings and you can export the settings you created. Then uninstall 3.0.13, reinstall 3.0.14. Then “import as” and you can “select” between the default settings for 3.0.14 and your custom settings. Then we can deal with APNIC.
