I recently installed Comodo's free firewall. While an excellent program, I am having one conflict which I cannot seem to resolve. I have a network media player which streams audio/video to my tv through my wireless network. When Comodo's firewall is running I cannot access any files from the media player even though I grant full access to the services and exe files which control the media server. The media player is a Buffalo Link Theater. I have also told Comodo told skip extra security checks and to allow stealth connections for the associated programs. To use the player I have to manually disable my firewall. Ideas?
