1245243	2011-11-24 04:54:00	righto, I see xnet have a local cache of steam content, they have a guide on how to set up windows firewall so only there steam server is used for files, can anyone tell me how to do the same thing in comodo? from xnet Can I make sure I only download Steam games from the Xnet server? Yes you can, please follow this guide* (*applies to Windows 7 & Vista Operating systems only) The process involves setting up a firewall rule so that you only allow traffic from the Xnet server when you download a game. If the game content is not on the Xnet server, you will get an error that says that the game is not available at the current time. If this happens you will need to disable the firewall rule and re-attempt to download the game, keeping in mind the content will count as normal usage and will not be free. Make sure you re-enable the firewall rule afterwards to ensure further content is free! How to setup your Windows Firewall so that Steam downloads from the Xnet steam server . - Click "Start". - Click "Control Panel". - Click "System and Security" or "Windows Firewall" (depending on your control panel view). - Click "Windows Firewall" (depending on your control panel view). - Click "Advanced Settings" on the left hand side of the page, this will open "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security". - Click on "Outbound Rules" and click "New Rule" on the right hand side of the page. - Select "Custom" and press "Next", then "Next" again to skip the Program selection screen and go to the Protocol and Ports screen. - Change protocol type to "TCP" and under "Remote port" select "Specific Ports" and enter "27030", then click "Next". - Under "Which remote IP addresses does this rule apply to?", click "These IP addresses". - Click "Add..." then "This IP address range:" and enter "0.0.0.0" in the "From:" box and "58.28.25.145" in the "To:" box, then click "OK" - Click "Add..." again and then "This IP address range:" and enter "58.28.25.147" in the "From:" box and "255.255.255.255" in the "To:" box, then click "OK" - Click "Next" to go to the "Action" page and leave this on "Block", click "Next" again to go to the "Profile" page. - On the "Profile" page, depending on your situation uncheck any boxes where you don't want this rule to apply. If in doubt, leave them all checked. - Click "Next" and enter a name in the "Name" box. Something like "Xnet Steam content server" will do. - Click "Finish" From now on, Steam should only connect to Xnet's server for new games & content updates!	Metla (12)
