Hmmm..I don't see a solution there...or am I just blind?
I am also having a similar problem, & I've read a few posts on other forums from people saying they have the same problem. It looks to me like it's a bug with the firewall.
If I install Avast Internet Security, I comepletely lose access to my home network. I've tried disabling the Avast Firewall, and pretty much every other suggestion I've come accross & none of them have worked for me. The only thing I can do is uninstall AIS, & install the free Avast Anti-Virus, and run Comodo firewall or Windows firewall. Everything works fine then & I can access my Windows shares with no problems.
I'm really disappointed with this, as I have used AIS for years now, and would hate to switch to another program (Tried them all, & can't say I found anything better than AIS)
But, as I really don't like running a separate firewall, I'll probably swith to another program.
Does anyone know if there's anyone even looking into this?
Thanks.
