Relevance of the Internet connection setting

Hi

Under Update, Advanced, Internet Connection. What is the relevance of the settings (None, LAN, Dial-up, Other) please?

 

May be I am not so correct but one of out computers connects to internet only once a week or so . If its NOD32 is set to LAN then NOD32 will try to update constantly and it displays error messages "Error connect to server"

When I set it to None , NOD32 doesn't try to update and no error messages to confuse users

 

Hi Buscuit.

None = No Internet connection

LAN = Local Area Network, as in a Broadband connection.

Dial-up = Modem dial up connection.

Other (e.g. Portable computer) = Laptop with dual connection, as in dial up and LAN.

Cheers

 

Thanks Blackspear. But I want to know the relevance of each setting. So for instance what does the dial-up or "other" setting do in relation to choosing the LAN setting.

 

With dial up setting NOD32 tries to update only if you are connected to internet.

 

No .

In Control Center->NOD32 System information->Scheduler/Planner you see you have set by default check for update every one hour + you can check to have update on every dial-up or VPN connection . You can make them both remain

 

During installation this setting changes which update options are enabled by default. (what mrtwolman said)

Also what HiTech_boy said is correct.

Just my observances - after installation this setting seems to alter by what method NOD32 decides if a dial up connection has been made and may help determine via which interface update and ThreatSense connections are made.

Cheers
