Firewall blocks the internal network from home

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

I have avast! Internet Security in micro main accesses the Internet, but blocks access to Internet :cry: from another PC that is in the home network.

When I disable the avast, the network works and the other PC access :o the Internet.

How do I set not to block the internal network? I tried to configure, but did not work, :o still blocked.

thank you. :smiley:

Hi Linkes,

Donā€™t know if this is still an issue, but here my suggestion.

Your problem sounds firewall related to me. After playing around choice of two fixes, one simple; one more involved.

Simple fix first. Open Avast; goto Firewall tab / Firewall Settings sub-tab. Change WORK ZONE to HOME ZONE, this should allow others on your network access to your pc.

The other fix involves changing the settings for the WORK ZONE.
Open Avast; goto Firewall tab / Application Rules sub-tab.
From the listed Applications, expand Microsoft Corporation and System;
On the bar chart near ā€œFriends in and Internet Outā€, click the fourth bar.
This will change the access description to ā€œAllow outbound access to the Internet and inbound access from Friendsā€, and should allow otherā€™s on your network access to your pc.

Hope this helps,
Simon

I donā€™t use ICS, each of my two systems here has its own connectionā€¦ so, in other words, does that mean that if needed ICS doesnā€™t work properly through AIS firewall, would be nice to get an answer from the devsā€¦
