Default Comodo firewall issue

Source IP: Any
Destination IP: Any
Source Port: Any
Destination port: Choose 'single port'. Now in the box, add LW's listening port number > ok.

You'll see the new rule at the very bottom of the Network Control Rules list. Move the rule up, so that it's above any rules that are blocking (ie any rules with a red circle).

The firewall icon should go away now

Thanks for your advice and apologies for not replying sooner.

I've added a new rule as detailed above but I am still seeing the firewall icon.

I've checked within Comodo and LW has an unlimited application control rule as well as the network control rule.

Looking at the connections monitor, there is plenty of traffic (through a number of different ports, not just the LW listening port).

As searches, downloads & uploads seem unaffected I don't understand what is being blocked by Comodo.

Any further suggestions or an explanation gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.
