I certainly do have a firewall on the router at home, Steve, but the desktop
is going through that router as well and updates automatically, whereas the
laptop will only update if I ask it to when going through the router, but
updates by itself when going through bluetooth to my mobile.
I thought Chris might be on to something with the suggestion about the
"Never dial my default internet connection" setting, but found that it was
already selected on the laptop
I think I will just have to have the desktop and laptop next to each other
and go through the ESET settings one by one to see where the difference is.
It sounds as if the firewall settings are the most likely culprit at the
moment, but I really need both machines in the same place at the same time
to make checking that bit easier.
I will keep the list informed if I find something interesting, which might
also help Carol out.
Caroline.

Hi Caroline,
Happy New Year to you too.
Only thing I can think of is that you may have a firewall in your router
that is blocking the Vista machine from updating. When you are out on the
road of course, you are not behind the firewall. Is this possible?
All the best
Steve

Happy New Year to everyone on the list and thank you to those who have
assisted me with various problems during 2008.
Following the problem I was having a few days ago with ESET Smart Security
not updating automatically on my Vista laptop while it has no problems doing
so on my XP desktop machine, I was interested to find out the following.
I have been using my laptop while away over Christmas but have had to
connect to the outside world using bluetooth via my N73 mobile to T-Mobile
as no internet connection was available otherwise. Surprisingly enough,
when connecting in this manner, ESET updates automatically on the laptop. I
have looked in the Smart Security settings but can find no explanation as to
why it should be able to update on its own when I'm connected via bluetooth
to T-Mobile, but will not do so when connected wirelessly to my home network
using Plusnet.
Can anyone shed any light on this? There must be a setting somewhere, but I
haven't been able to track it down.
Thanks,
Caroline.
