Title: firewalls
Post by: akosimic on April 09, 2008, 08:39:58 AM

okay so finally solved my network problem...i could only connect to the local network when i disable zone alarm.

i need your recommendations for firewalls, which is local network friendly also. zone alarm has been a pain in the ass lately. i enabled it to allow me access to our local network yet im still denied access.

Wala naman akong na-encounter na ganyang problema sa local network ko using zone alarm.  Usually nagkakaroon ako ng problema sa local network kung sabay naka-on yung windows firewall at zone alarm.  Lagi lang naka-disable yung windows firewall ko.

Former ZoneAlarm user here. I switched to Comodo Pro (free) because of the same problems. Some ZA updates have proven to be problematic for me.

Under Firewall options tapos sa "Zones" Tab check mo ko yung ipaddress range ng local network mo - kung anu yung brodcast ip ng LAN mo (usually 192.168.0.0 if gateway mo ay 192.168.0.1) naka set under sa zone column as Trusted.  Kung walang laman yun i add mo lang manually yung brodcast ip + subnet mask tapos i-set mo sya as trusted.  After nun pwede mo na maaccess yung folders ng pc na merong firewall.

sir kit, how do you configure comodo for networking? i tried inputting the ip addy of the other pc but it doesnt work. i think im doing it the wrong way.

I've never had problems with Comodo in a network. Try using an IP range if you are having problems with an individual IP, especially if the pc's in your network use DHCP.
