v4 IDS killing internet connection

True

Why would you take an image for? you can just try with advance settings-> update-> test mode ON/OFF to make it work (and all you need to do is restart, not more than that).

I believe this is temp solution

In nice words, they offered him to disable firewall

I agree, the suggestion to use the Windows firewall was really not what I was looking to do.
Any other security suite I have used simply 'works out of the box' without any tweaking to be able to be on the internet.
I am left with V3 and will stay with that for the time being.
Looking around now for other possibilities.

I went back to using ver3 as ver4 crippled my connection

 

Well you can use NOD32 v4 (anyhow it's the same license) combined with Online Armor FREE firewall and see how this will work out for you until ESET comes with the solution, then you can go back to ESS.

At first I did too , but then I decided to force it to work.

Just for the record, I had v3, installed v4, reinstalled v3, reinstalled v4 (twice) and my laptop is still great, so no need to fear that one might need to reinstall Vista.

Seems not to be.

Some sites are still blocked.. startet after 5 minutes temp. solution.... what a crap.

 

did you try this:https://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=236335

Worked for me!

This is what I chose to do and after a very brief learning period with Online Armor I had it working very well with NOD32 v4. I liked Online Armor so much that when they sent me an offer of $10 (USD) off if I bought the paid version within within 5 days, I decided to go for it. I think OA is easier to use than the ESS Firewall and available test results seem to indicate that it is more effective as well. I'll stick with NOD32 v4, I have no problems with that product at all. This is just proves once again that suite security solutions are not always sweet deals for end users. Just because a company makes a killer anti-virus product doesn't mean that their firewall will be up to the same standards.

 

exactly! i know they want a bigger market and are following the rest of the pack, but stick at what you do best

 

RonZ,

you know there's say "Nothing is perfect" but this comes pretty close! Enjoy

 

I gave V4 another try and disabled the settings as recommended from Eset (as shown in that recently deleted forum post by the Mod):

- ARP Poisoning attack detection
- DNS Poisoning attack detection
- TCP Desynchronisation attack detection
- Reverse TCP Desynchronisation attack detection

Nothing was better... Every 15 to 20 mins lost of connection...
I'm now back to V3!

Same behavior for my system, I also switched back to v3 and everything is working fine again (no internet problems!!!). Before I switched back I tested the described settings, and the problem is NOT gone, I still had the internet connection problems!!!

 

Those having problems with Internet connectivity after installing ESS v4, please drop me a PM. There's a newer firewall module available that should resolve all these issues. If you're willing to try it out before we make it available via automatic update (for those with the test mode enabled at the first stage), please let me know. It has already been provided to some clients with a positive response.

 

Hello! How can I get this firewall module? I am willing to try it!

 

send him private message (PM), that's what he said. Click on his name, and then you'll see "send private message".

 

The private messaging system is currently unavailable.

 

I've sent the new module to a couple of people who have contacted me. After they confirm the new module works fine for them, we'll make it available for public providing that you have test mode enabled in the update setup.

 

i´ve got activated test mode, few minutes ago was firewall again "actualised" to 1044 (20090121)

 

I got from Marcos the new Personal firewall module: 1045 (20090318 ) and for an hour now i have no more internet drop outs. I will monitor it the next hours and days.

It seems that finally the error is found (hopefully...)!

Indeed, I've been on since 5am (about 2 hours now) and no problems so far.

Woo Hoo! :fingerscrossed:

 

Thanks for digging into this Marcos - appreciated much.

Couple of Questions - assuming the new module works, you state that we would have to enable test mode. Would we enable test mode, get the new module, and then disable test mode again? Not sure I understand the pluses/minuses of having test mode enabled.

Other question - are you able to explain what the cause of the problem was?

Thanks Marcos.

 

Marcos wrote in my PM that it is not necessary to enable Test Mode. I didn't enable it and the 1045 build was not overwritten by an older one. Test mode is only for beta purposes he said.

Got it. I should have read more carefully. Thanks much for replying.

 

My network and internet connection gets destroyed when I install ESS. How do I get the update? I forget -- is there an option to not install or activate the firewall when you install ESS?

 

I had re-installed Vista and V4 works.

To find out if the new module works I saved that Vista and restored a vista image that was having the "firewall" problem and I got the module, its still working 10 hours now.

Its looking good.
