Security Essentials "Connection failed"

[Guest dssds1]

I run Microsoft Security Essentials under Windows 7

 

 

The issue is once I add a 2nd NIC, I get a connection failed while "installing" definition updates from MSSE

 

 

I think this is the 'key' because it "downloads" just fine. just cannot install, then the error "connection failed"... So I think its a bogus error, hinting you do NOT have internet connection, when in fact it's not true.. Plus, why would it download if it doesn't have access?

 

 

The question I have is what actually causes this to fail. ? I tried disconnecting 2nd NIC,, even physically removing It, but it still doesn't make a different..

 

 

Can anyone confirm this works with more than 1 Nic?

 

 

Apart from this, PING's and internet works no problem.. so. its isolated to the software in question.

 

 

See attached.

 

 

Its also not Firewall issue, because nothing has changed other than inserting 2nd adapter. No HOSTS file changes or anything
