I have vista home premium and I’m trying to set up windows file and printer sharing with my siters xp computer, is there a special setting in comodo to allow this?
I believe that when you first setup the firewall you will receive a popup which says New Private Network Detected.
There is a box you can check to allow file and printer sharing.

OK, but I haven’t choosen this option while installing Comodo. Do I have to reinstall Comodo now in order to get MS file and printer sharing working ?
I don’t want it.
What I was referring to can be found in the help file under Comodo Firewall Pro > Installation:
Step 14: After you restart your machine:
After restarting, if your computer is connected to a home or work network, then you will be prompted to configure it at the ‘New Private Network Detected!’ dialog:
Step 1: Even home users with a single computer will have to configure a home network in order to connect to the internet. (this is usually displayed in the Step 1 text field as you network card). Most users should accept this this name.
Step 2: If you wish your computer to accept connections from other PC’s in this network or for printer sharing, then also check this option (e.g. a work or home network). This will then become a trusted network. Users that only have a single home computer connecting to the internet should avoid this setting.
Select ‘Do not automatically detect new networks’ If you are an experienced user that wishes to manually set-up their own trusted networks (this can be done in ‘My Network Zones’ and through the ‘Stealth Ports Wizard’)
You must select OK to confirm your choice. If you click on ‘Close’ button, all the network connections will be blocked.

OK, what if Comodo was installed some weeks ago. Option for microsoft networking hasn’t been choosen during installation, and I want to use the file and printer sharing starting from now ?
How can create the necessary rules without have to reinstall Comodo ?
