I've been having problems since I upgrade to Windows 8 with media servers, where no device could find my media server at all. I finally realised last week that the problem is the Avast Firewall (I'm guessing the Avast update that caused this was around the same time I upgraded to Windows
. I now have to turn off the firewall to use the media server.
Does anybody know a way to exclude the media server from the firewall? Cheers.
