Hello malwarecide,

Do you have "Test Mode" enabled?

hi BFG,

yes I enabled it before I updated it manually...
thanks for the reply.

 

Hi,

You're welcome. 1049 was pushed out to those that have test mode enabled. It contains a general fix for connectivity problems .

Uhmm, can someone tell me how can you enable the test mode? tnx!

 

Setup->Update->Advanced Update Setup->Update mode
there you can check Test mode: enable test mode

 

I have vista ultimate sp2, ess ... Problem with file transfer in yahoo messenger... I can't send file bigger than 1MB, but I can receive, My firewall modul is 1049...

 

If you just updated to module 1049, make sure you reboot the machine, I was getting lots of blocked connections until I rebooted.

 

nothing.... file transfer not working...

 

I DO NOT have test mode enabled and I have v1049 (using ESS v4.0.437 and Vista Ultimate 64-bit)

1049 is released.

 

It works very well, I am not surprised.

Elapsed, you are to be commended. You do a good job reporting accurate details for Eset and well, I appreciate it, I just others do.

 

Hi

I've had 5 clients in last 2 days reporting loss of internet access .. the dhcp clients failed to fetch network address. all were running eset smart security 3.. fix was to install ESS4 over the top (from a pen drive(!))

All required a visit.. easy if local. Anyone got suggestions to get non techie clients out of this trouble when a visit is not possible please?

Thanks

John

 

Hi rosery,

We too are dealing with some lingering issues... Since the release of 1049, it's gotten easier to walk folks through it over the phone.

1. Disable the personal firewall.

2. Reset the network adapter so it fetches an IP address. (We've only been seeing the 1047 issue with Vista, so right click the network icon by the clock, Diagnose and repair, renew IP address or reset TCP/IP adapter)

3. Once there's an internet connection, force an Eset update. This should update the firewall module to 1049

4. Re-enable the personal firewall

Obviously there's some details missing, but that's the steps we've been using.

Regards,
Dusty

 

can they upgrade to version 4 without you having to do it. And are they running 1049, a tic in upgrade will do it. I know it is not much but.

 

very good advice.
