How to port forward Comodo Firewall and Something port forwarders should know...
 
Before I start, A NOTE FOR ALL, When Port Forwarding the Firewall Icon WILL NOT DISAPPEAR until you connect to the network so it will be there when you restart the program., :) as this applies to frostwire and limewire users of course.. Oh and ONLY TCP IN needs to be port forwarded at least for Frostwire and Limewire, UDP IN can stay Blocked.

1.) Go into comodos main screen
2.) Go to the Security Tab, then on the side Go to the Network Monitor Tab.
3.) If you have TCP in blocked like I did, double click the rule
4.) Go to Destination port and select if only using one sharing program A single port, in the box input that port that you input into your sharing program to listen on. If your using more than one, select a set of ports and input them separated by a comma.
5.) VERY important for safety wise as this is opening that port or those ports up to allow tcp in, but this way no other ports are allowed to be opened up so no worries about computer security I believe, Now do this CHECK the CHECK BOX next to Exclude (i.e. NOT the choice below) and again make sure your only on the destination port tab.
6.) Click OK

7.) you'll see tcp in still blocked for that rule. From there and make sure the rule you just modified is still selected, right click, select Add Rule -- Add After.

8.) Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP
Direction: In

9.) Go to the Destination Port Tab now, select A single port if using only one single file sharing program, other wise select A set of ports. Input the one port or so(same as the ones you did last time and the same way - almost - but,). Now DO NOT CHECK THE EXCLUDE BOX - LEAVE IT UNCHECKED.

10.) Click OK

11.) Restart Frostwire and or Limewire and THIS is where you'll still see the Globe with the wall around it, DO NOT WORRY, Click File - Connect. For others, I do not know what happens after this, I only say Limewire since Frostwire is what I use and it's Based on Limewire & is pretty much identical in the builds & the way it operates.
Now the Globe Firewalled Icon should now turn into another one such as a big BLUE one for limewire (poss.) and Frostwire.
