Switching Eset off

[TimBarker 0]

I'm currently going through issues with network and internet connectivity (mostly due to an issue with this damned NBN).

Is there a way of 'switching off' the firewall and everything else concerning potential barriers between my windows 10 PC and my local network in a single switch rather than hunting through the interface and switching things off individually?  Or maybe just using the firewall switch is enough?  At the moment I have no internet connectivity due to a log-in problem with my ISP (whose problem is it? I have no idea but suspect it has something to with the NBN affecting the traffic) so it doesn't worry me having an 'open' PC for a short while as I get things working again.

The problem is that I have a connection to the local network, can get an IP address with stated gateway with a wireless connection (or cabled) but then cannot ping the gateway and fear that there is some form of firewall active stopping me.

If ping doesn't work and pausing the firewall doesn't make any difference, I'd recommend temporarily uninstalling ESET and see if it makes a difference.
