Whatsitdoingnow

I recently installed Comodo Internet Security, I did so because Zone Alarm was conflicting with utorrent and this program came highly recommended. During installation of the firewall kernel driver the installation process appeared to freeze, it got stuck with the progress bar at some 1/4 of the way there. At this point my internet cut out, I am connecting to the net wirelessly via a netgear router located the floor below me in the house. I eventually found I had no choice but to reboot, upon which the problems persisted. I tried the installatio process again, this time completely uninstalling and removing zone alarm before proceeding with the installation (I thought Comodo had done this automatically as the wizard prompts kind of suggested it was going to). This time the program installed fine and comodo is running apparently fine except that it is completely useless to anyone as I cannot connect to the internet, I can see the name of my network in the wireless connections network manager but when I try to connect to it, it says connection unsuccessful. Oddly enough every time I've tried connecting since it's been necessary to disconnect from the wireless network that vista would have me believe I was never able to connect to in the first place. The little red cross remains on the double computer icon in the system tray regardless of this, even when the network manager says "connected with limited access". Seeings how I'm on the internet now on my eeepc on that very network I can't figure out why this is happening and as Comodo is freshly installed, there are no settings or preferences for any programs or services or anything and it would seem odd to me if the firewall by default blocked the routine which allowed windows to connect in any case.

Anyone think they can shed any light?

I had a similar issue recently, although my Comodo installation completed. IMHO, Comodo Internet security/firewall is great. But I had to take it off a test machine to try something. You will need to uninstall your other firewall as running more than one can cause problems. But after you uninstall Comodo, there may be some components that installed somewhere else. You may try clicking on the ConnectTO Icon in Vista/xp and right-click your active connection view the status of your it. Click on properties and you should see a list of items that your connection uses. In this list, you may also see some that is listed as a comodo service. Uninstall this service if you see it and you should be able to browse again. If that doesn't work, then you should keep searching for a solution. But after I had done an uninstall, that service was still tied to my connection, but uninstalling it there restored my connection that I'd lost after uninstalling comodo. Just remember to uninstall the other firewall also(except Windows Firewall,that one probably isn't your problem so you should leave it). Good luck
