Avast Premier Firewall stops LAN from connecting

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

The firewall in Avast Premier stops my LAN connection from being able to be used.
It initially sets it as a public connection and blocks the negotiation (DHCP) from taking place.

I keep having to disable the firewall and then disabling the LAN adapter, then enable the LAN adapter (or use IPCONFIG /RENEW) and re-enable the firewall.
This then correctly detects it as a private connection.

Set the Avast Firewall to private mode and reboot.

I have tried that, but it blocks before it can identify the connection and automatically sets it to public while the connection is unidentified.
