Solved: Comodo Firewall Settings
Hi, ever since I installed Comodo Firewall Pro I am unable to access the shared files of my other computer connected to my home network (yes, I am using a router). Anyone a bit more versed with the Comodo Firewall settings, in order for me to "see" the other computers in the network with Comodo still installed?

And yes, whenever I uninstall Comodo, I am able to access the the other units shared files, but I prefer to have a better firewall so I still choose to use this third party program.

Any help/suggestion would be very much appreciated. TIA!

Go to Firewall>Common Tasks>Stealth Ports Wizard>Define a new trusted network. If your network shows in the pulldown., then trust it.

Hmmm...my network is not showing...will go to My Network Places and resetup my network. Should I setup my network on both computers? I am btw using a PPoE connection on my router would this matter? But this is only for my LAN setup. TIA!

@Davec
