Hi Tech,
Sometimes people have problems to combine Comodo FW and P2P. I know some parties want to turn P2P into "a dirty word", but I think in some form or other it will be around for a bit ("some bits") (at least in some countries). This is a way to do it properly:
Comodo Firewall & Bittorent
A mini tutorial of how to open ports for bittorent and similar p2p programs
Go at the "Network Monitor" panel and add the following rule
Rule for TCP/UDP protocol
Action = Allow
Protocol = TCP or UDP
Direction = In
Source IP = Any
Destination IP = your computer IP adress (or "Any" )
Source port = Any
Destination port = the port your bittorent program uses for the TCP/UDP
connections e.g. 62423
You must move the rules up, over the default rule "Block IP in". (
CPF "reads/applicates" the rules from the top to the bottom)
ps. Remember that for CPF "Source IP" is the adress of the computer
which sends the data and "Destination IP" is the computer that receives
them. When your computer sends data is consindered Source, when
receives them is consindered Destination.
For using the search in Kad you must disable the feature "Do protocol
analysis" Wink
IMPORTANT
you will have to disable the UPnP option from the program you use if you
want this guide to work properly. If you don't disable it you will have NAT
problems. Wink
example for azureus:
Azureus->Tools -> Options -> Plugins -> UPnP
There uncheck "Enable UPnP"
By moving the rules you do give a priority to those rules. That is why the
rules are numbered.
#0,#1,#2, #3, etc. The lower is the numberof the rule, the higher is the rules
priority. Wink
The rule with the position-number #0 has the highest priority of all.
