I had the same problem - Drifta PC software connecting to Drifta and displaying channels but unable to connect to any channel and show video.
Firmware 2.1.312
Application 1.3.3
On my XP Netbook (XP SP3) running ESET NOD32 5.0.95.0 the application works fine.
On my Win 7 Ultimate Notebook, also running ESET NOD32 5.0.95.0 it does NOT work.
My initial upgrade to ESET 5.0.94.0 caused all sorts of hanging issues when external storage was attached to my XP machine and on reading forums I realised this was a known bug, the resolution of which was to upgrade to 5.0.95.0 on the XP machine. The Win7 machine didn't have these problems so I never upgraded it.
With this Drifta problem I did the following:
1. Uninstalled ESET 5.0.94.0 from the Win 7 machine - after this Drifta worked 100%
2. Installed ESET 5.0.95.0 (since this works with Drifta on the XP machine) - Drifta not working again.
3. Unistalled ESET again and Drifta works.
Now I've installed MSE on the machine and Drifta works. Pity really, ESET *used* to be great - the latest version seems to slow things down and is more buggy. My bad for renewing for another 2 years

Thanks a million - it solved my problem ! I was also using NOD32 v 5. I have uninstalled it and the drifta is working now. Now I must just find a good anti virus program in its place.

Hi
Got my drifta working with Nod32 v5:
In nod32
> Go to "Advanced setup"
> Go to "Web & Email"
> Go to "Protocol filtering"
> Go to "Excluded IP adresses"
> Choose "Enter IPv4 adresses"
> Enter range "192.168.16.0 to 192.168.16.255"
Works on my lappy, made me happy . . . .

I know this is an old'ish thread, but I just wanted to say thanks for this fix.
I had a strong feeling that my problem had something to do with the firewall of ESET Endpoint Security, but even after disabling the firewall, I was still having the same problem of channles and info showing, but unable to connect to a channel.
Your fix of adding the IP range to the exception rule solved this for me too, even though it's a different ESET product on a Win7 (x64) desktop PC.
