@rugk Well Im not really a computer tech I guess. I only try to do what I learn little by little. Well my issue went around like this. I updated from 7 to 8 right? After that the next day internet stopped working, first I thought it was my router but soon I found that I couldnt even connect to my router admin page. So I uninstalled eset and downloaded 7 back and yet the same thing happened and note it did not happen before at all so somehow the settings must've gotten saved or something and when Eset 7 ran it automatically took the settings of 8 like the quarantine list, which is why I was recommending to find a way to completely remove everything if anyone wants to reinstall eset. So then I was looking here and found those "3" firewall rules that needed to be disabled. But what I did was to go to into the advanced settings and firewall and choose "permantently disable firewall" in that moment ESET disabled personal firewall, network attack protection, botnet BUT also Web access protection. Thats when internet started working again. After reboot though the changes didnt get saved. Then I saw someone was talking about manually adding your subnet to the trusted zones. Went there and I found 3 DnsIP. My guess is that there was some sort of conflict in the settings and removal of these upon upgrade and reinstall. I deleted all 3 and I added my subnet naming it home internet and the internet worked again and when I rebooted I didnt get the pop up question "Home network or public network". However I checked now the firewall settings again in the zones and yes you are right it still automatically generates a DnsIp. What I have now in my zones option is a "trusted zone" "DnsIP" my manually added Subnet, local adresses, DNS servers, adress exclusion and notification. So I dont know maybe for others its something diferent in the settings of eset, but for me this is what fixed it so I just thought I'd share it.

I did not switch to learning mode it was automatic with the first install. Second install. Third install. I upgraded from 7 to 8. Then redownloaded 7 and still same issue. Today I redownloaded 8 and I checked the zones without it being in learning mode, everytime I rebooted it showed that pop up with network selection ( public or home ) and when that happens internet simply just dies. After that I went to the zone thingy and there were 3 DnsIP connections automatically generated. When I deleted all and re-added only one with my subnet it worked again. I didnt change the firewall into learning mode I was on automatic mode. Had none of these issues untill I upgraded to 8. Perhaps when upgrading the settings got messed up or whatever and it needs a fresh install and resetting every single bit of configuration. And with all due respect, I dont think everyone here messed up with their TZ config ^^''

Hello There. I dont know if anyone still reads this but in any case I found a solution to this problem. The problem seems to be caused ( in my case anyway maybe it'll work for others too ) by a zone rule. When you go to permanently disable firewall with all its options your internet works back normally and perfectly. Now what I did was this : 1. Setup -> Advanced Setup 2. Personal Firewall -> Rules and Zones 3. Rules and Zone editor -> Setup 4. Go to Zone tab 5. Look for DnsIP and remove ALL of them ( yes ESET might have created more than one automated firewall thingy ) 6. Create a new one and add your subnet. Everything works perfectly after that. I hope this helps others too. Also hope the ESET team will find a way to actually fix this because a lot of people might just stop recommeding their software...
