Is there a easy way to create a “trusted network adapter”?
I have two network adapters. First one is to internet.
I change configurations quite frequently, but I always have something connected to my second network adapter.
How do I make Comodo accept any trafic from my second network adapter? So that I can connect to any device/devices that are attached to my second network adapter?
Edit: I have Comodo Firewall Professional 3.0.13.268, Windows XP pro
In what network rang is the second adapter? We need to know this first. Start with defining it under Firewall → Common Tasks → My Network Zones in case Comodo did not automatically put it there.
Well… my network zones was a mess, so I cleaned it up :-[
There were several of my previous attempts and automatic zones made by Comodo. The automatic ones were mostly identical (dunno why Comodo made so many of them).
How do I put nic to zone? There is no such option. Perhaps with MAC address?
In case you don’t know we are going to make a little excursion to the ipconfig command. In Windows go to Start → Run → type cmd in the run field → enter → a black command line, “DOS box”, opens → type in the following: ipconfig /all (notice the space before /all) → now copy/paste the data for your second NIC in your reply.
We are first going to define your local network. Go to Firewall → Common Tasks → My Network zones → Add → A new network zone → fill in a name like My Home Network → Apply.
Now select My Home Network in the list → add → A new address → choose and IP address mask → fill in 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 → Apply → Apply.
Next step is to use the Stealth Ports Wizard to make your home network trusted. Go to Stealth Ports Wizard under Firewall → Common Tasks. Choose “Define a trusted network stealth my ports to EVERYONE else” → Next → select “I would like to trust an existing My Network Zone” → in the drop down box below choose “My Home Network” → Finish. Now we are done here.
By default CIS is set to be a Internet Connection Gateway (ICS server). Make sure it is still set. Go to Firewall → Advanced → Firewall Behaviour Settings → Alert Settings → make sure “This computer is an internet connectiion gateway (i.e. an ICS server)” is ticked. Apply and Ok your way back to the main interface.
