...ask for permission when I enable my network connection?

How do I configure Eset Smart Security 4.2.64.12 to ask for permission when I enable my network connection?

It used to ask for permission but at some point my settings were changed and now I don't get the question anymore.

Using Win XP Pro SP3

Thanks...

Hello ylle,

Was the firewall previously set to interactive mode? If it is in automatic mode it will not request your interaction to allow or deny.

Thank you,

Hello Rmuffler,

Thanks for answering my post, I really appreciate it!

The firewall was previously set to interactive mode and it is set to interactive mode at the moment.
Don't think I ever set it to automatic mode.

I tried to get back to that setting when it asks for my interaction when enabling my network connection but it just won't ask.
Also tried to uninstall and reinstall...

Hoping for help with settings.

Thanks...

Regards

 

Hello,

When you click allow or deny is it possible that the check box is marked to remember your selection? If it was marked to remember as a rule then you would not receive the pop up anymore. Please check to see if a rule was created.

Thank you,

Hello Rmuffler

Sorry for being so slow in answering.
Can't really tell how I got it back the way I wanted
but somehow this popup-window "Inbound traffic Internet"
is back when I activate my network connection.
It says:
A remote computer is attempting to communicate with an
application on this computer.
Do you wish to allow this communication..."
I always choose Temporarily remember action for the process
and Deny

Is it safe to check the box
Remember action (create rule)
and click: Allow

My internet connection seems to work fine when denying this.
