    After enabling DHCP (and removing my fixed IP) I am seeing the same problems as reported for this build beta_8 (on W2K)

    Hi pcaca,

    I'll have to take a look in the next release at that. I didn't have much time honestly to test this version out. I know in v1 you could just delete the Web Browser table without a problem at all. I deleted the Mail, FTP, ect. tables without a hitch. You might be correct though, there might be a "Go to table" rule now for Web Browser in another table that is preventing me from deleting this. I know in v1 I had to get rid of the jump rules before I could delete such tables as Application Trusted and Blocked Zone tables.

    In v2 you first have to delete the Jump-Rule before deleting the coresponding table.

    Hi. We released JPF v2.0.0.9 beta. I apologize for infamous BSOD.
    - v2.0.0.8 beta BSOD fixed.
    - "Create rule" from log entry function fixed (problem appeared after "Clear log window").

    Some comments on 2.0.0.9 (sorry for my bad english):

    • Start up bug (3 min. delay, no ask user popups) not fixed
    • On bootup, while Jetico doesn´t ask anything and the system is kind of "dead", apparently any traffic is still allowed, even explicitly blocked traffic. Even if the bootup time is back to normal (after manually adding many rules for the ask events in the log) apparently traffic is still allowed on bootup, as long as a single (ask user) rule is still missing!
    • Trusted adresses still shows incorrect IP address of LAN 192.168.188.0/24 (local network is 192.168.0.0-192.168.0.255)

    They plan to add Configuration Wizard which should fix all of the problems tou mention. These problems are caused by incorect initial configuration of Jetico. If you look at log you will see that Jetico service tried to give popup, but since GUI of Jetico is not started it can't give popup. Configuration Wizard wil create rulses which are required for correct system start up. Also it will fill Trusted and Blocked zones with correct IP addresses.

    I've got this answer from Jetico Support.

    So far so good, running smooth and fast, all rules are acomplished, traffic blocked as set in the rules. Can confirm the IP bug. A Setup/Configuration Wizard should solve this bug even it is not the best solution, so you have to run it each time when you change your location (laptop).
    IMHO a possibility could be a TCP/IP Layer, Tcpip, etc. like NOD32 and DiamondsCS uses, or in combination with WinPcap.

    Will do a restart later and see if ths is working smooth too :)

    Yes it could be a problem with dynamic IP address, especially with WiFi. I have problem, Jetico doesn't detect my WLAN IP on startup because WLAN connection is not established. If I restart Jetico service after WLAN connection is established it correctly recognizes IP address and IP range for WLAN. This is not big problem for me because I have fixed IP, but it would be a problem with DHCP.

    One bug I've found:
    • When I try to save configuration to file for backup and to write filename in Save As dialog, Jetico asks to allow jpf.exe (GUI of Jetico) to install global-hook, I press OK to allow it permanently and Jetico GUI hangs. I must kill it with Task Manger. If install global-hook is allowed I can save configuration. This occurs in 2.0.0.8 and 2.0.0.9

    I also have a fix IP, but i use my Laptop in 3 different galeries (1 Cable, 2 Wifi) a day, so it is important to me that this works correctly. And i don't want to execute each time a Wizard. Perhaps Jetico thinks about my suggestion in post #234
    Can't confirm this with Beta 9. File is saved without Global-Hook request, and no such permition is in Process-Atack table.

    I can reproduce this issue 100% (every time I try to save the conf.). I can save Configuration with default file name "Untitled" without global-hook request, but as soon as I try to change the file name in the dialog I get the request for global-hook and if I press OK in popup to allow permanently GUI hangs.

    Yes, I can confirm this,... a re-boot is required on my W2K setup

    I tried it again with several new names in the save-dialog. No problems at all on WinXP SP2.

    I made an installation onto XPsp2 to check, but while placing rules to allow a normal boot Jetico locked up (moving the rules problem again). On a re-boot, Jetico could not connect to the service. So I will try again when I have time.

    I have Windows XP Home SP2 and problem occurs always. As you can see from Stem's screenshot, it occurs even if you delete one letter form filename.

    Very strange that i don't have this bug. Jetico seams to react in different ways on the same OS. o_O

    I have XP Prof. SP2. When I try to change the config filename, Jetico 2.0.0.9 asks to allow network communication hash for jpf.exe. I allow it and the system hangs up. So I manually added the hash rule and now Jetico requests a global-hook. I allow it once and a blank(!!!) popup appears. If I press OK (allow once) or cancel, the config filename can be changed. But if I select any other option (block once/custom rule) of the blank popup, Jetico hangs up immediately even though I did not yet press ok.

    Did anybody notice problems with drwtsn32.exe and process attack if an application crashes? There are process attack logs, but Jetico never shows a popup and hangs up the system.

    This on my setup is a conflict with ProcessGaurd, all protection by PG was disabled at all times, but on removing PG before installing JeticoV2 as solved this problem on my setup.

    I don't have ProcessGuard or any other HIPS on my system installed. I will try to find if there is a conflict with some application on my system.

    Pro (family) license
    Yes, full license,............ But of course, I dont install both on the same PC at the same time.

    I have license for a number of HIPS / firewalls / net monitors etc. I think, if a program/application is good, then I support it by the purchase of a license.




    The problem on my system, I think, was down to other "hooks" installed on the system (by PG), that somehow blocked Jetico full/correct installation.

    Yes, confirmed.

    @Nail
    While PG is installed (but is disabled), Jetico is unable to correctly install.

    Problem while PG installed,
    SSDT: for "bcftdi.sys"
    NTconnectport _ o.k.
    NTcreateport _ o.k.
    NTcreatethread _ missing
    NTopensection _ missing
    NTwritevirtualmemory _ missing

    The last 3 have already been move from original address by PG.

    A future problem during install and executing etc. could also be, that Jetico's driver are kernel level API hooking. This may conflict with alerts of third party security programs like HIPS.
