    Hi, as I'm getting used to ESS and I start playing with the config I'm finding oddities like this: there is a posibility within the connections overview of the personal firewall to Temporarily Allow or Deny connection to a given process, also there is a chance to Show Details of that process.
    Well both options used to work on RC1, but they don't on the final Release I just downloaded.
    The Temporary switch On/Off does not disconect a process, It kills the entire Internet connection and a reboot is necesary to bring it back online.
    The show details does not work as you can see on the screenshot I'm posting.
    Just a little something to FIX there on the next release ..........

    It works fine on my Vista x64 machine but details will not show on my Vista x86 machine.

    Very strange.

    Well it is a bug and I think I found it. If you disable the option to Show Listening Connections then it shows the details... It's a display bug but it is there and it should be fixed.

    I can confirm this on my WinXP-SP2 system with ESS #551:
    With 'Show listening connection' set to ON (and of course 'Show details' = ON), the details aren't showing. Switching 'Show listening connections' to OFF, the details appears immediately. Funny detail: switching 'Show listening connections' ON again, the details are shown just once more in a flash and then disappears.
    This definitely need a fix. It's very annoying.

    There is a problem and Eset UK support and Global support (a guy at eset.sk) have now replicated the error and have submitted it to developers for a fix.

    I got the same answer from Eset Support Argentina. I sent a Tiket and the answer was that they had Identified the problem but they told me this:

    "Dear Martin,
    We aren't sure if we have to threat this issue, but we making a research to see if this is an error/bug or if this behavior is intentional. As soon as we hear anything we would let you know.
    Regards"

    So I still have the problem but aa mix answer for it from what I see here on the forum.

    Be interesting to see what happens as teh eset.sk guy definitely said it was a bug.

    I gues it's more of an annoyance than a ashow stopper so I'm not expecting a fast resolution.
