ESET Insiders yeoldfart 152 Posted July 30, 2017 ESET Insiders Share Posted July 30, 2017 Which default (automatic) setting could "decide" to lock such connection without any warning ? where can I find the culprit ? I had to downgrade from SS to AV to retrieve access to the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESET Insiders yeoldfart 152 Posted July 30, 2017 Author ESET Insiders Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) no such thing, thank you. btw I could be wrong assuming the fwall is the culprit as it's just a guess. The internet connection icon in the taskbar showed suddenly a red X without any info. Edited July 30, 2017 by yeoldfart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESET Insiders yeoldfart 152 Posted July 30, 2017 Author ESET Insiders Share Posted July 30, 2017 quite sensible, but the culprit is somewhere in ESS because this never happened before and after, this leaves me with: what in ESS can by itself block a safe ethernet connection ?

itman 1,743 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Check your Eset firewall logs to see what is being blocked. Same blocked connections will also show in Windows security event log under the Audit Failure section. Edited July 30, 2017 by itman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,241 Posted July 30, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2017 You can also try temporarily uninstalling ESS to see if the issue recurs or not. In order to stay protected, you can install ESET NOD32 Antivirus which you are eligible to use with an ESS license. EAV does not intervene in network communication whatsoever, the only exception are application protocols HTTP(S), POP3(S) and IMAP(S) provided that protocol filtering is enabled.

ESET Insiders yeoldfart 152 Posted July 30, 2017 Author ESET Insiders Share Posted July 30, 2017 Never happens without ESS, as I said above I already downgraded to EAV which is a PITA as I want to use ESS efficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
