4.3.1.2.2 Proxy server
To access the proxy server setup options for a given update profile, click Update in the Advanced setup tree (F5) and
then click the Setup... button to the right of Advanced update setup. Click the HTTP Proxy tab and select one of the
three following options:
Use global proxy server settings
Do not use proxy server
Connection through a proxy server
Selecting the Use global proxy server settings option will use the proxy server configuration options already specified
in the Tools > Proxy server branch of the Advanced setup tree.
Select the Do not use proxy server option to specify that no proxy server will be used to update ESET NOD32 Antivirus.
The Connection through a proxy server option should be selected if:
A proxy server should be used to update ESET NOD32 Antivirus that is different from the proxy server specified in the
global settings (Tools > Proxy server). If so, the settings should be specified here: Proxy server address,
communication Port, plus Username and Password for the proxy server if required.
The proxy server settings were not set globally, but ESET NOD32 Antivirus will connect to a proxy server for updates.
Your computer is connected to the Internet via a proxy server. The settings are taken from Internet Explorer during
program installation, but if they are subsequently changed (e.g. if you change your ISP), please check that the HTTP
proxy settings listed in this window are correct. Otherwise the program will not be able to connect to the update
servers.
The default setting for the proxy server is Use global proxy server settings.
NOTE: Authentication data such as Username and Password is intended for accessing the proxy server. Complete
these fields only if a username and password are required. Please note that these fields are not for your username/
password for ESET NOD32 Antivirus, and should only be completed if you know you need a password to access the
internet via a proxy server.
4.3.1.2.3 Connecting to the LAN
When updating from a local server with an NT-based operating system, authentication for each network connection is
required by default.
To configure such an account, click the LAN tab. The Connect to LAN as section offers the System account (default),
Current user, and Specified user options.
Select the System account (default) option to use the system account for authentication. Normally, no authentication
process takes place if there is no authentication data supplied in the main update setup section.
To ensure that the program authenticates using a currently logged-in user account, select Current user. The drawback
of this option is that the program is not able to connect to the update server if no user is currently logged in.
Select Specified user if you want the program to use a specific user account for authentication. Use this method when
the default system account connection fails. Please be aware that the specified user account must have access to the
update files directory on the local server. Otherwise, the program will not be able to establish a connection and
download updates.
Warning: When either Current user or Specified user is selected, an error may occur when changing the identity of the
program to the desired user. We recommend entering the LAN authentication data in the main update setup section.
In this update setup section, the authentication data should be entered as follows: domain_name\user (if it is a
workgroup, enter workgroup_name\name) and password. When updating from the HTTP version of the local server, no
authentication is required.
Select the Disconnect from server after update option if connection to the server remains active even after updates
have been downloaded.
