How do you connect to the Internet? Do you use dial-up, ADSL, cable modem or corporate/home LAN?

 

Vodafone 3g datacard.

Connection by 3g or GPRS.

 

Try doing a tracert to an internet address that you know works. If that also fails, then it could be something like the firewall (or some other network setting) blocking all tracert replies.

 

Heres the result...

Hmmm, it looks like something is blocking your ping and tracert requests. Both of those use ICMP, so check whether your firewall is set to block ICMP. Also make sure you do not have the built in Windows Firewall on without realizing it.

Keep in mind that this is secondary to your main problem... not being able to update your NOD32. In the meantime, we may try figuring out some other way of troubleshooting this connection.

Try opening up a web browser and go to http://u7.eset.com (or just click the link). You should be redirected to http://www.nod32.com/home/home.htm . This should at least test whether you are able to reach that web address.

 

Hi...thanks for your reply.

I have XP SP2 and only LnS firewall shows as on in the security control panel.

I can open http://u7.eset.com and it does forward to http://www.nod32.com/home/home.htm

I have attached my LnS rules if yoiu can help.

 

Hmmm, that's strange. As far as I know, the NOD32 update uses the same ports as a regular web browser (at least when connecting to the Eset servers). Destination port 80, local port range 1024-5000. If you are able to connect to them with a web browser, I would think the NOD32 update should also work.

Then again, looking at the firewall rules, it is also strange that you cannot ping. Rules 17 and 18 cover pinging. Rule 17 allows the ping "echo" request to go out (ICMP type "8"), and Rule 18 allows the ping "echo reply" to come back in (ICMP type 0). Try pinging www.wilderssecurity.com , see if that works. Also try pinging with the firewall disabled.

By the way, the Windows version of tracert sends several ICMP "echo" requests out (ICMP type 8 ), and receives "echo reply" (ICMP type 0 ) and "time exceeded" (ICMP type 11) packets back in. If you ever get ping to work, you may add a rule to allow ICMP type 11 in. Copy Rule 18, make it Rule "18.5" (not really 18.5, but you know what I mean) and change the line "IcmpType_PC=0" to "IcmpType_PC=11".

Getting back to your NOD32 Update problem, maybe it is a proxy/network setting problem, and the firewall ping/tracert is separate? Go to NOD32 Control Center --> Update --> Setup --> Advanced and play around with the "Internet Connection" settings... None, LAN/fixed line, Dial-up, Other. Also look at the "Proxy Server" setup in there and make sure that one is not set by mistake.

 

Bingo!

Thanks alglove!

I changed it to 'None' and it works no probs.

I'm going to try that also.
I've had an updating problem since I've had Nod32 as shown here:
