I need help getting the updates for Avast. I am on a wireless network with two computers, one wired and one wireless notebook. The wired one runs XP Home and the notebook runs XP Media Edition. I have avast installed on both.
On the notebook Avast updates perfectly but on the wired computer connected to the router it comes up with an error saying there is no internet connection, when I know very well there is a connection. Been searching this forum for answers to my problem and not finding exactly what I need.
Am wondering if I need to open a port through the router to let Avast update. Just can’t find anything else that could be interferring. In the meantime I have been just going to the site and downloading the updates there. My problem, however, is that I am a newbie at all this stuff and don’t know how to open ports on anything.
Hope some knowledgeable people on this forum will take pity and HELP!!!
Thanks in advance.
You dont need to open any ports.
Are you using a software firewall on the wired pc?
If so make sure you have allowed avast access.
