Re: What is SE trying to hide here?
Hmm, that is interesting seeing POL.exe reading the other processes. Did it do a one time run through only at the beginning?
The quote about the connection issue though that is something I would say is unrelated. I know this from the pain in the butt ISP known as AOL!!!!
The damn ISP for some reason has issues with our companies website. Every AOL customer that is a customer of ours has given me attachments showing AOL saying our site is down or giving them blank screens, or even giving them page not found errors that are not the page not found displays we have in place.
So this type of error is likely related to your ISP, the same goes with the DC'ing when changing zones. Again the reason a MAC Address change would allow this to work is something with your ISP messing it up. As again I found with AOL for some stupid reason AOL f's up ports and the only way to fix is change MAC causing AOL to reset it's systems of who's connected to that IP address.
So if you are having these issues one place you might want to try bitching at more is your ISP. I know Cox has tried to tell me three times of network errors being my fault or the sites and so far they've been wrong three times, they've figured 2 of them out because I spent time figuring out what resulted in creating the issue and telling them. On one case the guy even made comment along the lines of "I thought we fixed that last week".
You know looking around about this the only plausible answer I see is that Sony's methods of it's "DNAS" was improved. The "DNAS" likely returns info it's find back to the games developer so they can make the needed modifications to stop 3rd party programs that the developer doesn't want running. A good give away to prove it's this security function would be how often does it scan your system. For most games the DNAS only does a single scan, but on select few the developers of the game did set it up for DNAS to do a double scan.
If it is this then you shouldn't blame Square Enix for this, this would be a SoE security design. Like the "Cheat Guard" that Lineage II implies, which also scans your system without prior consent. If it this then likely what the game developer gets of info is pretty restricted, this means they will not be able to see what sites you are going to or what the other programs are doing. Likely if it does anything it's probably looking for anything in the program that points itself to the FFXI folders.
So only I would see that iexplorer.exe would flag as something to the DNAS is if you've opened iexploerer and used the file:\\<ffxi path> in there to get to the folders/files. Then there would be something to point iexplorer.exe to the ffxi folder.
