Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter
« on: April 22, 2016, 04:58:57 AM »
Hello,

First off I am new to Avast; I am also not so tech savy...  I am trying to connect to a Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter with Premier, Windows 10.  If I turn off the firewall all will work fine; with firewall on it's a no go.  I can't figure out where to add and exception for the adapter within the Avast firewall...

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I'm having this issue with my MSDisplayAdapter_3B (Firewall blocks it) but the FAQ on creating a program exclusion doesn't work for me. There isn't a program that I'm activating. I'm connecting to a wireless display through the "Project" function. It's currently listed as being connected to "Local Area Connection* 16 (Adapter)".

How do I adapt those exclusion rules to this connection?

(I'll post back if I find it.)

Sorry, but this seems to have stopped working since a security update during the last weeks. Now on each connect to the MS Display Adaptor Win 10 assignes a new randomly assigned network connection name which invalidates any previous setting to private mode. Please Avast, give us a solution that allows the use of the MS Display Adaptor without totally switching the firewall off.

Hi, can you, please, try if enabling ICS mode will help you?

On Firewall page / Settings and then this, see image:

Nope, no change: In lower part of the FW settings screen you see those failed connections with generated names.

TIA,

1. Go to Protection -> Firewall and set your Network to Private
2. Below that, click Settings and check Internet Connection Sharing Mode
3. On the same page, click System Rules and set both Allow Windows File and Printer sharing & Allow remote desktop connections to this computer to Enabled. Click OK
4. Click Packet Rules and add 4 new rules: (see attached image)
     UDP Local port 67
     UDP Local port 68
     UDP Remote port 67
     UDP Remote port 68
5. Restart your computer for settings to take effect.

Sorry but I don't see the image and it would be very helpful. Thanks

Sorry, but connect still fails when FW hasn't been switched off first.
I'm posting the settings I made the way I understood your recommendations.

@ hd. naujoks,
Did you restart the computer after making those changes? Thanks

Yes I did, more than once to be sure. First time btw was to allow the changes as my mouse cursor disappeared every time when moving it over any Avast window, an effect I've already noticed a few times before. And of course I restarted when all changes were correctly saved.
