StarCraft battle.net behind Comodo firewall [Solved]

versions:
StarCraft Brood War v1.14
Comodo Firewall v2.3.6.81

I okayed starcraft.exe for access to TCP/UDP and so on, but I still could not connect to battle.net

A look at the Application Monitor of the Security tab in the Comodo gui showed that the permissions had been granted, there were four entries, one for TCP/UDP in, one for TCP/UDP out, and dupilicates of these with “parent = cmd.exe” because I once launched StarCraft from the command line for the hell of it. I edited the permissions to read in/out instead of having separate entries for in and out, and then tried again to get on battle.net. I was sure it wouldn’t work, but it did. Crazy.

Any admins and developers for this fine freeware: thanks!
