Comodo Firewall and Activesync Part 2

[Straight Shooter]

Hi,

I tried posting on this older thread but the system wouldn't let me.

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=165204&highlight=comodo+activesync

I am going to put up a screenshot of my Comodo network Monitor.. Hopefully someone can help me. I can't get MS Activesync and Comdo Firewall to work.

Thanks
Jim

Move the last rule above the block rule.

Thanks but it didn't quite do the trick. As I posted on the Comodo forum. I got the thing syncing but that's all it does. Then I get an error message. The syncing and looking for changes went on for about 5 minutes. Usually that lasts 15 seconds or so.

I replied in the Comodo forum. Reading from here (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx) it seems that you need to add some ports besides 990: 999, 5678, 5721, 26675.

I don't use "ActiveSync", so a confirmation from anyone who knows would be nice. But it should work.

Click the rule you created, Then edit (right clicking the rule, or clicking Edit button located above the rules).
Then on the 'destination port' tab, choose 'set of ports' (i don't know if says exactly like this, i'm not in XP), then place all the ports needed: 990, 999, 5678, 5721, 26675.
Save the rule.

Since i don't have Comodo in front of me, no screenshots sorry.

Thank you, finally works.. I will relax for a while and post the steps myself from beginning to end in the next couple of hours.. I want to thank you again. It finally works!

Love Comodo!

Thanks Man.

:) glad i could help. Now look at the FAQ topic again (http://forums.comodo.com/frequently_asked_questions_faq_for_comodo_firewall/activesync_and_comodo-t743.0.html;topicseen)
Pandlouk said everything, plus how to confine the rule to your trusted zone. I know, when we're new to things.. ;D

Here are the screenshots...

On the last screenshot, it's important to remember that, when you make the above rule, then you need to "move" it ABOVE the pre-existing rule that is a "Block".

This is where I originally messed up.

Thanks
Jim
