| 586879 | 2007-09-01 09:52:00 | Hey all. I hope this is not a jinx continuing from my last encounter with unknown dial-up Xtra computers connecting to my laptop for no reason, but it appears that Comodo Firewall is being extra cautious by blocking port 21 for no reason. I have tried to FTP using FileZilla and Firefox, but to no avail. Upon setting the traffic setting to "Allow all", I was able to transfer files using FTP as per usual. I have defined FileZilla as a trusted application, but the firewall still wouldn't let it go through the barrier. Is there anything else that I can do? Cheers :) |

| 586880 | 2007-09-01 10:29:00 | under application management you can allow an app to use a port or protocoll so as example filzilla you could allow to use port 21. I have wsftp set to allow on any port but I cold tighten my security by allowing port 21 only |

I did just that by allowing FileZilla to use any ports (i.e. by specifying it as trusted application). Cheers :) |

I hope this is not a jinx continuing from my last encounter with unknown dial-up Xtra computers connecting to my laptop for no reason, but it appears that Comodo Firewall is being extra cautious by blocking port 21 for no reason. Ports 20 and 21 should be blocked unless you are running an FTP server. Clients use ports 1024 and up. I have tried to FTP using FileZilla and Firefox, but to no avail. Upon setting the traffic setting to "Allow all", I was able to transfer files using FTP as per usual. I have defined FileZilla as a trusted application, but the firewall still wouldn't let it go through the barrier. Is there anything else that I can do? Cheers :) I am almost certain Firefox uses passive FTP by default, so Comodo should have no problem with it. Dunno about FileZilla. Check that Comodo is not blocking all unrestricted ports (1024 up). |

| 586883 | 2007-09-01 22:10:00 | Hey vinref. I have got the problem solved by reinstalling the firewall. It seems that Comodo had developed a hate relationship with Windows Update as well by blocking it, but now everything is back to normal. Cheers :) |

Cheers :) I found that out too, when Comodo was installed. I reinstalled it 3-4 times, it wouldnt budge. So, in the end I removed/uninstalled Comodo (and even tho Comodo had been removed the registry entries for it were still blocking the WU site). In the end I had to delete ALL the Comodo entries in the registry to fix it. Then Comodo kept on showing up in Security Centre, (even tho I had uninstalled it, it got annoying!), it said Comodo was on when it wasnt even installed (And XP's firewall was off). And if XP's firewall was on, Security Centre said one or more, of the firewalls were installed! (Even tho there was only one running (XP's). With help from the guys on the Comodo forum, I downloaded a file that has something to do with WMI. Which removed it. I'll wait for v3 to come out, to see if thats any better. V2.xx just blocked too many programs and too many ports. |
