rule ignored?

Hi,

Unless I’m mistaken, I think some rules aren’t being followed. Example:

Rule 7 (for me):

ALLOW ICMP OUT from IP 192.168.1.3 to IP 198.168.1.1 where ICMP message is PORT UNREACHABLE

However, the Log reports

Description: Outbound Policy Voilation (Access Denied, ICMP = Port Unreachable)
Protocol: ICMP Outgoing
Source:192.168.1.3
Destination:198.168.1.1
Message PORT UNREACHABLE
Reason: Network Control Rule ID = 8

Rule 8 is the standard IP IN/OUT - any/any - IPPROT = any. It seems that rule 7, see above, is being ignored, as it tells Comodo to let pass ICMP for a certain message for certain IPs.

What am I missing ?

Thanks for help.

Have you tried to reboot?
Your rule looks ok.
Are you using the latest stable or beta firewall?

Hi,

Thanks for responding.

Yes, I have rebooted this morning just to check, and there are no changes, the rule is still being ignored.

I have version 2.3.6.81, no updates available, and Comodo Database 1.2

XP2 SP2, plenty of everything. I have cable that goes into a router, but I don’t know if this has anything to do with it.

What’s the next course of action?

Thanks,

C.

Try changing the block rule(#8) from IN/OUT to IN only. Just curious that maybe IP is taking control here. That would be interesting if it was.

LOL!
I got the same thing!? :o
I have CFP 2.4.7.114 and A.D. Vers. 1.6

As rule ID 2 I have IGMP allowed.
In the log I have a entry that have blocked IGMP…?
The even stranger thing is, that the rule that has stopped IGMP is rule ID 5…
The problem is, that ID 5 is an allow rule for my Torrent app… UDP/TCP IN + Torrent port…
My block rule is ID 16…
Strange…???

as expected (I think) the log is empty.

Which means the IP is taking over?

Don’t know what the reasons are but something is not getting saved correctly when a rule is added/changed it seems like to me. Either that or it is the way the protocol order (IP,TCP/UDP) gets read. Somehow it is getting dazed and confused. ???

Should you/me/we report it as a bug? or have you already? if not, how should I do it?

Thanks,

C.
