If I export my EIS settings, then uninstall EIS for a few days, then if I re-install EIS, and then import those saved settings back into EIS, will things be exactly like they were before I uninstalled EIS? The reason I ask is because I want to test if something happening on my Windows 10 64 bit PC is being caused by EIS, but I want to make sure I can revert back to it without having to set everything back the way it was before the uninstall. Thanks!

I am also getting this notification on the West Coast USA.

Thank you for the research and your assistance. I went ahead and created a new Known Network in ESET for hsd2.ca.comcast.net with the same settings as the hsd1.ca.comcast.net network already present in ESET.

@MarcosWere you ever able to determine if the same network was detected? Thanks.

I have never seen APIPA DNS servers assigned but they could be used without my realizing it, I suppose. One thing I have noticed is that DNS suffix in 'Network Identification' is sometimes hsd2.ca.comcast.net when a net network is found. Is there any harm in disabling the DNS suffix option in 'Network Identification' or could I possibly use a wild card (eg. hsd*.ca.comcast.net) ?

Those are the DNS IPs assigned by the router to my PC. I checked another PC in the house and the values are the same.

The settings in the screenshot below match what I see in ipconfig /all output. As said above, I just recently decided to add the gateway IP address in addition to the previously populated DHCP and DNS server values to see if that helps. Time will tell I guess.

I had a feeling these settings were part of the equation. Yesterday, after the "new network" detection I added in the IP address of my gateway (which is also the same IP as my DHCP server) to see if that would help. So far, I have not been prompted by ESET for a new network but then again, those prompts seem to come at random times, sometime weeks apart.

Those two parameters are, and have always been, enabled whenever I checked.

Yes, I am sharing using standard Windows 10 folder sharing. I have tried deleting all "Known Networks" from ESET and then I get prompted with the message in my OP, to which I click "Yes". At some point later for some reason, I will get prompted again with the same message. Is there a way to force ESET to see my network as Home/Office?

Thank you. Some background -- my network setup is pretty standard...an up-to-date Windows 10 Pro desktop PC in my house with a hard-wired internet connection via an ISP (Xfinity/Comcast) supplied cable modem/router. There are other PCs in the same house, on the same network, that I want to share files with, so whenever a new network was detected, I would always set it as a Trusted Zone (Home or office network). I downloaded and ran the ESET Log Collector. Is there a secure way I can share the ZIP file with you? Or is there anything in the ZIP file that might be considered unsecure?

I get periodic ESET messages saying "New network connection detected" and the message asks if I want to consider it as a trusted connection. What causes this message to appear, and is there a safe way to have ESET always consider it a trusted network based on something such as an IP address, domain, etc.? Thanks!

So for all practical purposes, this error can be ignored and is not noticeably affecting performance?
