    I'm using Internet Connection Sharing over Wi-Fi on Windows 7, and I'm constantly getting this error:

    Is there a way to prevent it from occurring? Where do I set the exception?

    Thank you in advance.

    Try enabling pre-release updates in the update setup and let us know if you're still getting the message.

    I tried, and it's not resolved with the updates. I heard about this before on ESET 4, but they couldn't find a solution. Because it's Microsoft ICS, ESET thinks that traffic coming from another computer is dangerous, and it's not. I flushed DNS already on both computers, yet the problem persists.

    This is ESET 5, if you couldn't tell from the warning window, by the way.

    If you place it in Trusted zone?

    It actually *is* in the trusted zone because it's a home computer. I have it in the "Allow Sharing" mode. Problems still persist.

    hogndog: As much as I wish it was the problem with the DNS, it appears to be ESET's false positive.

    I'd appreciate it if you could just tell me how to list the IP as a false positive. I think filing a bugreport would also be a good thing to do.

    As I mentoned above, I flushed DNS on both computers already. I could disable the tick here:

    Advanced Setup> Network> IDS and advanced options> Intrusion Detection,

    but I want to set an exception from *that* particular adress.
