Just an update on this issue. First thanks folks for your interest. I've
contacted two different Eset technical support members but both couldn't solve
the issue. They remotely connected to my machine and everything, you know. But
in the words of the two wizards at Eset, "hmmm. that's weird". There I used my
judgement and left it at that before they mess up my other wireless connection.
The issue seems to be related to a corrupted Eset firewall driver. I'm
reinstalling my OS soon and I reckon that will take care of this problem. If
after reinstalling Windows the problem persists, then I'm going back to the
wizards at Eset, but this time they will have to have the hat on.
Well, one thing I've learned from those two phone calls. Apparently Eset, is
pronounced ESet (e set). Invaluable!
Cheers,
Amro

Amro, thanks for your description of the problem you are having, I don't use
the smart security, just NOD 32 and I do not get the message you get, the
laptop says it's connected wirelessly but I cannot access any website, they
start to open and after a while I get the message: server not responding.
Trying to connect to the same site a few minutes later through my Ethernet
connection is no problem and everything runs as it should be.
I called my ISP technical support team thinking it might be a fault with the
router but they say they tested the wireless connection remotely, even changed
the channel for me and everything is as it should be and can't offer any
solution.
My IPod touch has trouble connecting as well but does it much more readily
than the laptop.
can't think about anything I can do to solve this problem, waiting for a
wireless dongle to come, to see if that might work.
Wish me luck! Quite frustrated at the moment especially now the weather is
good and I could have taken the laptop outside.
Any comments/ideas more than welcomed.
Marie

Subject: [access-uk] Eset and problems with my wireless connection
Hello all,
XP, Eset Smart Security 4.2 with Jaws 12.
My desktop has suddenly developed a problem with connecting to my router
wirelessly. Now when I connect I get the message "this connection has limited
or no connectivity". I have an educated guess that this is caused by Eset's
firewall. If I go to my wireless network connection properties' dialog and
uncheck the tick box next to Eset personal firewall the wireless network then
functions fine. So, my guess is that I have somehow blocked my wireless
connection in Eset.
I have looked everywhere in Eset settings but I couldn't find what I was
looking for.
So, anyone can offer any ideas on where to go from here? How can I
investigate further? The problem is if I uncheck the Eset item in wireless
network connection properties, I will be bypassing my firewall rather than
solving the issue which is unsecure and no good.
Any ideas or guesses will be most appreciated!
Amro
