web shield setup with lan router

how to setup AVAST web shield while using WINME O.S. with a local LAN router and dsl modem ?

web shield setup instruction setup states [local host 12080] no mention for use with a…LAN router ?

PC SETUP
O.S. WIN ME
AVAST.4.8
ZA 6.

I presume that you ask this because you can’t browse ?

Is this what settings you set the browser to use the web shield proxy, see image extract of the avast! Help file, also see Tutorial link below.
You don’t say what browser you are using ?

For IE - broadband users: - Tutorial - Web Shield Proxy Set-up for IE

Does ZA allow ashWebSv.exe internet access ?

  • If it does delete the entry for it and reconnect to the internet, this will force the firewall to ask permission again.

using FIREFOX 2…0

setup Firefox as avast video instructed …no internet access

as for ZA ashWebSv.exe ? don’t no what this is ?

I think you still have to set up IE because that deals with your Internet connections and is the only thing that I know about that even mentions LAN.

ZA your firewall ashWebSv.exe, the web shield if ZA doesn’t allow it then it doesn’t matter if your browser is correctly set up to use the web shield proxy, it still won’t work.

;D
will check…IE proxy settings…thanks mate.

You’re welcome.
