hello everbody I am facing problem using messenger and google talk as i cannot perform file sharing and some application sharing with these two programs.
as incoming ports are assigned dynamically to them so opening few ports in firewall resulted in temporary solution.
one solution that appears to me is to allow all incoming connection request in global rules then use application rules to decide which application is allowed to recieve incoming connection request.
but this sounds odd
in my computer alpplication layer gateway is always in listening mode but i had permitted svchost only outgoing connection attempt
I have gone through MS article which states as follows
To enable voice and video communications with Windows Messenger through a non-UPnP firewall, configure the firewall to allow incoming traffic on UDP ports 5004 – 65535.
For other purposes, enable the following ports:
File Transfer: 6891 (to allow 10 simultaneous file transfers, open ports 6891–6900)
Application and Whiteboard Sharing: 1503
Remote Assistance: 3389
does this mean I have to open ports manually in global rules as under application control rules for windows messenger allow Ip in/out any any is not giving the desired result
is it possible to turnoff comodo firewall and continue to use D+ feature with windows frewall
