I have to agree on the criticism. I have noticed these issues back in the 3 series and after removing ESET Smart Security,, I decided to try and reinstall (after good 6 months) because I absolutely loved it’s performance in the past..

My issues are not with internet connection as a whole but are definitely tied to winsock. There is nothing I haven’t done to re-set to clean up,, to modify,, so on,, the issue remains…

Considering the magnitude of the problem I agree that ESET should be A LOT more proactive about resolving this…

Every version of ESET’s firewall, from v3 to v4, has problems with basic issues such as renewing DHCP IP addresses. ESET seems to be hiding their heads in the sand. The documentation and knowledge base provide no help at all on such issues.

Installing Vesion 4 over version 3 causes serious problems, unistall and reinstall will fix many problems that occur if you install over an existing version. (ESET should check in the install script and not allow this!)
ESETs firewall is excellent in V 4, just because it finds high risk behavior risky isn’t a reason to knock it. There is no doubt that better explainations and faqs about certain conflicts should be documented for easy review, but if you configure correctly it is a fantastic product even running on a server where it “should’t be installed” and where it has to deal with very high traffic levels it works great. I love it, and V4 is a big improvement over 3 in my experience.

I had Firefox and Thunderbird logon problems. I found switching off Peer Guardian solved all of my problems. This is one of the problems I had that ESET picked up: 05/03/2010 11:14:51 Detected DNS cache poisoning attack 192.168.0.1:53 192.168.0.100:1290 UDP and also 16/03/2010 09:57:49 Packet blocked by active defense (IDS) 192.168.0.100:1275 78.33.33.73:80 TCP . ESET have suggested that I allow them to connect remotely to my machine and they will “investigate and remove the problem”

Try running this in the run command on windows:

netsh winsock reset

This did the trick. I am now happy and it all works. Moderator, please remove my previous comment. Thanks.

For the black berry and PC, an excellent program for GTD to do list is todo matrix from Rex Wireless. The blackberry data is wirelessly synchronized with the rexwireless web site. I have used this program for more than a year after I decided my pockets were too small to carry both a PDA and telephone and purchased a blackberry.
