Heel,
I know I’m lacy and could find the answer in the help but who could help me to add the following rule:
When I look in the firewall event I see that the following event is blocked:
C:\Program Files\NPVR\NextPVR.exe: Is Blocked
Direction = out
Protocol= TCP
Source IP = 0.0.0.0
Source Port = 3460
Target IP =127.0.0.1
Target port= 8968
Kind regards,
Richard Meijn
Appears that Comodo firewall doesn’t consider NextPRV.exe as a safe application so instead of creating a rule for it, it blocked it.
Until Comodo recognizes the app as safe, you will have to manually create an outbound firewall for NextPRV.exe using the log info as source.
The firewall doesn’t create block rules unless you tell it to. The information in your post is for a loopback rule (127.0.0.1) Just change it to allow.
The funny thing is that Nextpvr.exe is added as a save application with allowing all questions and still this is blocked.
Kind regards,
Richard Meijn
There are also two network zones created:
loop back zone 127.0.0.1/255.0.0.0
And the network zone:
192.168.1.10/255.255.255.0
I assume you have the firewall set to “safe mode.”
First, it’s up to you to determine if Nextprv is really a “safe” application. Comodo keeps blocking it because it doesn’t consider it safe. If you feel it’s “safe”, delete the blocked rule Comodo created and manually add C:\Program Files\NPVR\NextPVR.exe as a trusted application.
See my attached screen shot.

The firewall doesn’t automatically block applications, it will prompt the user to allow or deny access, even if the application is unknown/untrusted. If something is unknown, the sandbox, if used, will intercept the application/process.

Post a screen shot of your Application rules.

127.0.0.1 is loopback and 192.168.1.10 is your LAN. An entry in Network zones means nothing unless it’s actively used in a firewall rule. Other than that these entries are just informational.
In a default installation of CIS with the firewall and D+ in safe mode, get two firewall prompts and several D+ alerts. If allowed, two generic rules are created (see images) when you receive a prompt are you allowing or denying?

Many thanks for all the replies. I discovered the problem and solved the problem . The problem was not Comodo firewall but the service of Next-PVR was not up and running. I was pushed in the wrong direction by the log of Commodo which told me that the NextPVR.exe program was blocked with source IP 0.0.0.0:3640 and destination Ip 127.0.0.1:8968.
After starting the service of NextPVR.exe the program worked fine.
Kind regards,
