Permanently disable filtering

When I have firewall filtering on my gateway machine, the clients cannot access the internet. I have to disable filtering. When I reboot the machine ESS comes up with filtering enabled. Why? The gateway machine is running its own firewall software.

 

Well, I'd suggest uninstalling ESS and installing NOD32 instead. And no wonder that you have issues w/ two firewalls installed at the same time.

 

Apparently the disabling of the firewall is meant to be temporary - I don't know why. I was able to get the clients to access the internet by "allowing communication for bridged connections" on the Gateway machine.
