Connection between a PC and a multimedia box

[BenLar]

Hi,

I have a pc connect to a netgear firewall by lan.
firewall : 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0
PC : 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0

this Pc is connect to a multimedia box by wifi in adhoc mode
PC : 192.168.1.3/255.255.255.0
Multimedia box (Emtec R100) : 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0

I have ESS under PC.

The wifi conection is ok. But I can ping the multimedia box.

When I unactivate ESS (firewall & antivirus) => I can't ping the multimedia box and I don't have multimedia box in my neighbourhood

When I uninstall ESS => it is OK ! I can ping the multimedia box and I have the multimedia box in my neighbourhood

What canI make ?

Thanks

Ben

Hello!

Open the user interface (GUI) . Enter the Advanced Setup Tree (F5)

1. Navigate to Personal Firewall. Choose Policy-based Mode

2. Navigate to Personal Firewall -> Rules and zones . In the right (at the Trusted zone part) , click Setup and choose "Allow sharing"

3. Navigate to Personal Firewall -> IDS and Advanced options
Make sure all services are allowed (a.k.a 5 options)

4. In Personal firewall -> IDS and advanced options , enabled logging . Press OK.


Then, open Personal firewall > Rules and zones > Zone and rule setup
Choose "Toggle detailed view of all riles" (if already not set to this)
Place a check for every rule , including the two ones for allowing all initiated outgoing traffic and blocking all unknown incoming traffic .
Press Apply button now. Confirm with OK.

Start creating new rule (use the button called "New")


Name : your choice
Direction : Both
Action : Allow
Protocol : TCP & UDP

Additional action:
check Log


In Local tab - do not touch here . If there is no info entered , ESS will allow communication from and to any port (a.k.a all ports)
In Remote tab - enter just the IP address of the machine(s) with Multibox - example 192.168.1.2 .

Confirm with OK . Try again.

Thanks for your reply. I try this but it doesn't work.

I don't understand why I don't receive any packets on the wifi connection.

Try something else

Open the user interface (GUI) . Enter the Advanced Setup Tree (F5)

Navigate to Personal Firewall. Choose Interactive mode

Then, open Personal firewall > Rules and zones > Zone and rule setup
Uncheck or delete the rule we created before . Uncheck every other rule (regarding the multibox or the 192.168.1.2 computer) you may have created .

Press Apply . Confirm the changes with OK.

Try again. This time you should get a pop-up and you can allow/block the traffic.


If this fails , too , please , open the user interface -> Help -> Contact Customer Care . Fill in the report and ESET will contact you . This way they will be able to see your configuration and help you further configuring the situation.
