I realize that this is my second post on this topic, but I have yet to receive any help, and the original post seems to have died. So, here’s the issue:
Upon installation of the Firewall, I can no longer connect to my DSL modem. It’s a 2Wire, and my computer is jacked in via Ethernet cable. The only way I am able to connect is by completely uninstalling the firewall.
Even if I define a trusted zone starting at 0.0.0.0 and encompassing everything, the firewall still seems to block all access.
In my network control rules, 0-4 are set to “Allow” and number 5 is set to “Block.”
I’ve been very happy with Comodo in the past, and I am intensely hopeful that this problem will finally be resolved.
Were there any alerts in your logs when CPF was installed? (I wonder if there’s still a copy of the logs.log file at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Comodo\Personal Firewall\Logs)
I reinstalled and copied the log file from the aforementioned folder. The resulting text was appeared to be a seemingly endless repeat referring to Network Rule 5 blocking incoming access. This was the only thing that was logged, and since turning Network Rule 5 to “Allow” was previously mentioned to me as being a no-no, I am at my wit’s end as far as what to do. (For the recorded, setting Rule 5 to allow did not fix the connectivity issue.)
What is in CFPs Log (Activity)? You can export to HTML file (right click on CFPs Log), open the file with your browser & then you can do a simple cut ‘n’ paste to here, remembering to mask any private IP numbers. Thanks.
Those look like incoming unsolicited connection attempts from a Torrent network… are you running a torrent application or some other type of file-sharing/p2p application?
Is there anything else? If there are lots of those Inbound Policy Violations the others might be tricky to spot.
