I loved my 4 version and got 5 after 3 year. I had nothing but problems getting my shared internet connection to work – and yes, it is still not working.
Any suggestion ???
No tech support from avast (I tried that with a ticket some days ago.) :-X They must be working on getting the bugs out…
There were some people who has a similar problems like you, please check another part of the forum. I don’t know what exactly going on, since my avast 5 works fine by any networks (dial-up, LAN, Wifi all fine).
No, this did not help. It is true that I installed avast 5 internet sec. over avast 5 free. Avast 5 internet sec prompted me to first uninstall avast 5 free - which I did, and after that installed avast 5 internet sec. over it.
Also, my modem works fine. If I disable the firewall see the internet - but this cant be the answer :-\
Yes - did the uninstall and reinstall, but I still can not see the internet.
My problem is: I can ping my server internally just fine, which has the shared internet connection; so 192.168.0.3 is seeing 192.168.0.1 (my server with the internet connection) but 192.168.0.3 has no access to the internet (google.com) :-\
I must mention here that I am hosting my own website and DNS server, but that should not make a difference.
I have been trying different settings, but nothing is working. ANY help would be very much appreciated as tech support is taking for ever to get back to me.
The 0 in 192.168.0.1 has nothing to do with it. Turing off the firewall in avast 5 and turning on the firewall in Win XP x64/2003 makes it works just fine. (This is standard. How to share an internet connection on LAN: http://hubpages.com/hub/How-to-share-an-internet-connection-on-LAN)
I REALLY NEED TO GET THIS TO WORK IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS.

Disabling Firewall in avast 5 and enabling it in Win will add five more line to the netstat output in system 192.168.0.3 (NOTE: this is when it works, and I can establish internet connection from my subnet - turning avast Firewall on is not letting me see the internet from my subnet)

One would think that clicking the “Internet Connection Sharing mode” inside the Firewall Policies would add these 4 lines ???
Do I need to manually add these lines as Packet Rules? And if so how?
The IP address 192.168.0.1 is the default for certain home broadband routers, principally various D-Link and Netgear models. This address is set by the manufacturer at the factory, but you can change it at any time using the network router's administrative console.
I only posted that article because yr link is being blocked by my hostsfile - 127.0.0.1 hubpages.com
plus maybe some clues for you in the article anyway - try reading it all the way through
Unfortunately I am not there in front of yr computer(s)
but firewall disabling an internal network is something I have not experienced anyway
Also windows XP 64 + firewall - if workaround works and you are inside a firewall? Surely that good enough for the interim
I have an XP64 computer here but unfortunately is not supported by my wireless modem - just one of those things ???
You did turn yr Windows firewall off? And yr avast firewall is recognising the internet connection (router)?
Really, provide as much of the procedure that you followed when you set up yr avast module and registered through yr product key.
[i]"This ticket was now assigned to our second-level technical support department. They will try to simulate the problem and find the solution. If they need some special information, they will contact you again.
Please keep in mind that the process may take some time (one week approximately, usually less), so please be patient."[/i]
To mkis’s question:
And yr avast firewall is recognizing the internet connection (router)?
I am not too sure how avast would see this router. It is not an external box or so. I am using two connections - one for my internet and one for my subnet that goes to a hub from which I have many computers hocked up to.
yes I understand the setup. But I thought yr private network might have been inside NAT security.
Although I do all my work with home and personal computers, I am Comptia qualified in Network+.
The procedure for my firewall begins with avast reading the connection (screenshot below)
I hope this thread will continue since I am having a nearly identical problem. I receive internet through an unsecured wireless connection, then share it with ICS to other computers in my local net. As nat1 said, this gives me two networks: the wan set to medium level security and the local to home level insecurity. The checkbox for ics is checked (from the start, I believe).
If I disable avast firewall, ICS works fine (Avast 5 internet security). With it enabled, internet is fine on 192.168.0.1 (the machine doing the sharing) but absent on the subnet. The Avast interface is very murky to me, and I have difficulty understanding which network is affected when I change settings.
Thanks, mkis. Yes, I was following the thread, that’s why I posted.
I opened Avast briefly by creating a packet rule (I’m gonna display my ignorance…) called tcp opening all to 192.168.0.182 (address given to my laptop by ics) on port 80 in and out. I got a successful tracert to my primary name provider through from the subnet. Avast then crashed and wiped out my whole network setup on 192.168.0.1. After I rebuilt it and got the internet back up it crashed again.
Now my internet is working again (only on 192.168.0.1) but that server will not supply subnet computers with dhcp.
This is my third effort in as many weeks to get Avast internet security working. At least the anti-virus is good. But the free edition works better and much easier.
ps I had to uninstall Avast and rebuild my network again before I could post this.
Probably best not push things at the moment. I’m sure nat1 will reply the outcome to this thread.
WinPatrol is a program I have used at times when I have to turn a firewall off for some reason or other.
Is a system monitor that keeps an eye on important areas in yr system http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html
