comodo firewall not stealthed!!!

[mbam daz.]

hi

does anyone know how to get the comodo firewall fully stealthed.

Ive done a test at the gibson research website using shields up and it fails my firewall.

The ports are closed but not stealthed.

any suggestions please?

thanks.

Hi.

Make sure to run the Stealth Ports Wizard under the firewall and choose "Block all incoming connections and make my ports stealth for everyone.". Also are you behind a router? If so that is probably why. Shields up will scan your router giving inaccurate results. It's best you unplug it and plug your laptop directly by an ethernet cable.

Hi buttons

yeah ive done all the stealth ports wizard stuff and still no luck.

Im not using a router im just using a USB dongle in my laptop.

At the moment im on a public wi-fi network/

I tried windows firewall as well and the result was the same.

I dont know what to do now.

many thanks.

I see. Sometimes it can take can while. How long have you been having this?

You're welcome.

Hi

well i only did the shields up test a few days ago.and i installed cisv5 as soon as it was released.

Im at a loss here.

its not the comodo firewall at fault as windows firewall has done the same.

perhaps my config is wrong.

Are you talking about the 113 port being closed only.

Hi sho-dan.

no there are only half a dozen ports actually stealthed.

the rest are blue meaning closed.

this is the first time this has happened.

ive tried everything and the result is the same.

Hello mbam daz.

Ah the key word is using public wi-fi network

It would be best if someone more knowledgeable in wireless security to give you the correct steps in securing your lappy using public wi-fi network.

ps. Funny is the word "Stealth", take off the "th" and what does it spell?
