| 771074 | 2009-05-04 23:41:00 | Afriend of mine has a PC which i have rebuilt (software only) - compac pressario 704 mb ram 3100 AMD Sempron processor winxp sp3 home edition I also loaded on NOD32 as she had no antivirus! It has worked fine for about 3 months with updates etc. I visited on the weekend and the updates were about a month behind. When I try to load them manually it tries to do the download, gets to anywhere about 300 to 1000 KB through the download process when her internet connection slows to nothing (telecom dialup) and then the update process starts again. It goes through this loop continuously. In the end i gave up. I have hunted the net to try and get a NOD32 update file, so i could download it on a diff PC with a faster connection, but apparently you cannot do it that way. Any ideas? |

| 771075 | 2009-05-04 23:51:00 | Is it a paid full license, or was it only a trial? What version Of nod32 is it 3.7 or 4.0 You can download the virus update files on their own, but you have to have the Admin version Of Nod to do that, not the Standard Retail version. When it stops, do you lose the Internet connection as well ? |

| 771076 | 2009-05-04 23:57:00 | It's a full licence, but not sure what version it is. I'll check that out next time i'm there. I'll also check out the Admin version thing, though i'm guessing she will only have bought the standard version. Thanks Wainui |

| 771077 | 2009-05-05 00:01:00 | oops, forgot to answer - yeah, thats why Nod stops, because the internet connection just slows to nothing, then fires up again. |

| 771078 | 2009-05-05 00:23:00 | if the Internet connection disconnects while its downloading that could be because its timing out. Windows is stupid, even though there is traffic coming through Via the update, it doesn't recognize it, you have to open a web page and refresh it every so often. What you can do, it open the control Panel/Internet Options/Connections tab/ Select the account - On the right -Settings/ Advanced- untick the the box that says Disconnect when now longer Needed. There used to be a box that allowed you to disconnect after so many minutes, but thats been removed in SP3. I'll also check out the Admin version thing How that basically / Simpley explained works is if a PC has the Admin Version on, you can get updates from that version, pushed out to other PC's on the LAN. |

| 771079 | 2009-05-05 00:37:00 | I'll try all that out. but... She used to have broadband, but then got that cancelled. So she is still getting the connection through the Broadband router. Are the setting the same?? Thanks again! |

| 771080 | 2009-05-05 00:58:00 | she is still getting the connection through the Broadband router What ????:confused::confused: AFAIK there are no broadband routers that do dial up (could be wrong) What you need to do is connect the telephone cable from the wall phone socket to the Line port on the dial up modem in the PC. While ADSL uses the telephone line, the type of connections for dial up and Broadband are different. |

Windows is stupid, even though there is traffic coming through Via the update, it doesn't recognize it, you have to open a web page and refresh it every so often. Better still, open up Outlook Express, or whatever email client is being used, and set it to check for new mail every three minutes. :thumbs: |

| 771082 | 2009-05-05 01:02:00 | What ????:confused::confused: AFAIK there are no broadband routers that do dial up (could be wrong) I have plugged my dialup modem into the broadband modem/router for internet connection sharing before now. Perhaps this person's setup is the same?? |

| 771083 | 2009-05-05 01:19:00 | So could it be that telecom have slowed down the broadband speed throught the router? Isn't that what happens when you exceed your broadband limit? The lights on the router are definately blinking when downloading off the net. But then, i think i see what you are saying, take the router out of the loop completely right? |
