"View workgroup computers" Error

All I have to do is disable the Computer Browser service on mine. As long as the other computer that is running EAV is on it works fine. Of course I can't view the workgroup on the ESS computer with the other one shut off but that's no big deal.

 

Yes Stueycaster, you're right, no need to edit the registry.
Thanks

 

Example:Setting to avoid "View workgroup computers" Error

"PETH" is the NIC(physical network adapter).

PETH property:
"Client for Microsoft Networks" is ON.
"File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is ON.
"ESET Personal Firewall" is ON.
"Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)

IP address : 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.254​

At first,you must change the parameter PETH.

PETH property:
"Client for Microsoft Networks" is OFF.
"File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is OFF.
"ESET Personal Firewall" is ON.
"Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)

IP address : 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.2​

Next,you must make the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

"LETH" is the Microsoft Loopback Adapter.

LETH property:
"Client for Microsoft Networks" is ON.
"File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is ON.
"Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)

IP address : 192.168.1.2
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.254​

(* Microsoft Loopback Adapter doesn't have "ESET Personal Firewall" option.)



Try! to setup a bridge connection between PETH and LETH.

"BETH" is the Bridge Adapter.

You can change the parameter BETH.
(It is't essential)

BETH property:
"Client for Microsoft Networks" is ON.
"File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" is ON.
"ESET personal Firewall" is OFF.
"Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)

Hello,

we've managed to find bug that caused problems when browsing a network. We're now testing the fix.

 

COOL!!!

 

Oh yay!

Will this be auto updated?

 

It will be delivered with the next installation package.

 

Is this problem fixed in the 3.0.630 release..?

 

No, it's fixed since .637.

 

Damn.. Then there is no need for me to upgrade my license to ESS if still dont work...

 

Hi,

Can you please confirm if the fix has been released yet for Smart Security?

I have been using NOD32 Home Edition and Comodo Firewall as a temporary measure (which I don't get on with).

I'm about to re-install Windows XP Pro on 2 PC's and wondering what to install.

Sorry if I've missing something.

Many thanks,

Steve.

 

Hello!

Mayth mentions version 3.0.637 which is not a public version , just for internal ESET testing . When new version arrives public , the so called change will be included in the new installer (version) . New public version(s) are introduced on ESET web-site eset.com and here

 

Any news of a date for version 3.0.637?

 

releasing fix for this ought to be topmost priority, and i am sure, it is being treated so.

hope it is delivered fast and automatically. desperately waiting for this fix...

 

Best Regards,
nodyforever

 

Hope it's not too long now as I am sick to the back teeth of Comodo Firewall

Steve.
