Wireless Internet Connection

Hi,

I have just installed ESET Smart Security 4.2.67.10 English. After I installed it, ESET keeps on blocking the wifi network. I can use the internet, but WLAN will not connect. I have tried to uncheck ARP Poisoning attack detection and DNS Poisoning attack detection, and it did not work. The firewall logs shows block incoming SSDP (UPNP) requests. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

 

Probably you meant that you connect via WLAN to the Internet fine but computers in your LAN do not see each other when connected via wifi? Do you have your LAN subnet in the Trusted zone?

 

how do I set up LAN subnet in the Trusted zone

 

In the Zone and rule setup section, activate the Zones tab, double-click "Trusted zone", click the "Add IPv4 address" button and enter your subnet.

 

After I added Lan subnet the firewall log still says the same thing.

 

I added a rule for svchost.exe to allow inbound TCP/UDP communication from the Trusted zone.

Host Process for Windows Services
Allow TCP/UDP from Trusted zone for svchost.exe
Direction: In
Action: Allow
Protocol: TCP & UDP

Remote side: Zone: Trusted zone, For every port

Local side: For every port

 

Does disabling the "Block incoming SSDP (UPnP) requests" rule make a difference? Note that rules are applied in all firewall modes except the default automatic mode.

 

@stackz I tried your setting but it makes no difference

@Marcos After I disable "Block incoming SSDP (UPnP) requests" rule, I get somthing new on the firewall log

 

Try creating a rule for outgoing communication via the IGMP protocol as shown in the screenshot. Also allow UPnP in the Trusted zone in the IDS section of the firewall setup.

 

I created the rule and in ISD and advanced options I have enable all the option in "Allowed services" and "Vista/Window 7 services"

 

HI Im new to eset and i was having this problem but i found out a way to solve it WITHOUT disabling your firewall.

For some reason eset ss dose something to wireless adapter when its installed
i fooled around with eset for a day or 2 and then i realized eset was not the problem, it was windows

so i went in to Control Panel...>Network and Internet Connections...> Network connections. Now all u have to do is right click on your LAN or HIGH SPEED INTERNET connection (whatever you are using, for me i got a wireless network)
then go down to properties select it...AND right there in the general tab look down and u will see ( this connection uses the following items: ) scroll threw the list and u should come across ESET PERSONAL FIREWALL make sure the box next to it is unchecked ( If its checked then uncheck the box) select ok and your internet connect should come right on

i dont know if this will mess up anything but i have not gotten any thing yet (thx to eset) and i scan my computer every night befor bed so its up to u
hope this will help oh yea im use in windows xp x32 so i dont know if this will work on any other versions HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

i posted this in another thread but i'll do it here just in case someone dont see it

 

Doing so will disable the personal firewall for the given NIC completely.

 

What exactly doesn't work now? According to the firewall log, only a standard HTTP communication with 206.33.55.126 was blocked that time.
To troubleshoot the issue further, we'd need you to create 2 pcap logs; one as per the instructions here when the problem occurs and the other one using Wireshark and the firewall disabled when the issue does not occur.

 

@Marcos So what you are saying is disabling the option makes my connection go around esets firewall not allowing it to check for malicious data coming inbound?

 

@Marcos The problem is shown in the picture. Also, I will do what you suggested.

 

@ ilovepie i have that problem when my wireless adepter's not in windows config mode but it looks like u have windows 7 so the icons could look different
sorry if i am not of any help

 

@uup115 thanks for trying to help and i have window vista

 

@Marcos

I'm having similar problems on one of my PCs: the wi-fi connection was disabled when I upgraded ESS from 4.2.35 to 4.2.67.

This only happened on my desktop, which has a RealTek wireless-G NIC under XP SP3, not on my laptop with an Atheros adaptor and Vista 32-bit SP2. Disabling the firewall didn't cure the problem, so I've reverted to 4.2.35 and everything's hunky-dory again.

I tried the upgrade three times: firstly using existing settings (they work, after all), then again using new interactive mode settings, and finally new automatic mode settings: in each case ESS stopped the Wifi NIC from getting past the router to the internet. Something's changed for the worse between 4.2.35 and 4.2.67

 

Here are general instructions for troubleshooting connectivity issues:
If disabling the firewall helps:
- enable logging of blocked connections in the IDS setup
- enable special firewall logging per the instructions here
- reproduce the problem
- disable the firewall
- start capturing the network traffic using Wireshark (we recommend to leave the bare minimum of network-aware applications running)
- try to reproduce the problem (everything should work)
- stop the capturing

Provide the following stuff to an ESET personnel:
1, ESS configuration exported to an XML file
2, the output of running "ipconfig /all"
3, both pcap logs created by the firewall and Wireshark
4, description of your network topology (e.g. what devices you use, such as routers, modems, network printers, Xbox, etc.), also provide the IP address of your computer and the remote device.

If disabling the firewall doesn't help:
- does switching the firewall integration to "Only scan application protocols" or "Personal firewall is disabled completely" and restarting the computer make a difference?
- outcome of "sc query epfwndis"

 

... or just stick with 4.2.35 rather than reduce the protection of 4.2.67

 

@Robin Springall just wondering where do you get 4.2.35? I can't find it on the site

 

You've lost the installer of version 4.2.35?
Previous Releases (4.0.474) here: http://www.eset.com/download

 

I keep a local copy of the previous version, just in case the latest one on the downloads page throws a wobbly. Here's 4.2.35 32-bit (the link will expire in 7 days):

 

yes it does, but in my case it is the best and the easiest solution.

because I have Internet on my PC via LAN, but I share internet via WLAN, so my brother could use it on his notebook.


Thanks guys

 

I want to unblock this rule but I don't know how. I tried to create a rule like in Marcos previous post but it didn't work.
