help with restriced access

i have comodo running on my tower, which houses all my music, movies, etc…it is connected to my wireless router…here’s what i’m trying to do…

  • i want no access to internet, etc via the tower
  • i DO want to access the shared drives on the tower via my laptops

here’s what i’ve done…i have a custom policy that says all incoming/outgoing within my network is allowed…internet and everything else is blocked…i have the firewall settings set at custom…

this worked yesterday…my tower goes to sleep every night and is scheduled to come on in the evening…after it cycled through this power down, power up cycle last night, this policy doesn’t seem to work properly…

how do i block everything from the tower, but allow my internal laptops to connect to the tower to gain access to my files?

hmm…no one has a suggestion about restricting to internal connections only?
