Synology DS416J

[Russell81]

I am trying to set up an new disk station from Synology.  It runs as a LAN, rather than the separate HDDs it contains, but Avast keeps blocking its address.  I've tried telling the software that the address is OK, but it still won't allow access.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Is your firewall network profile in private or puplic mode?

=================================================================

NOTE:The Network profiles control the settings which determine how strictly Firewall protects your PC.

Private: a lower level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a trusted network such as your home or work network.
This profile enables better connectivity, and permits all communication within the network.

Public: a higher level of security suitable for when your PC is connected to a public network such as in a cafe or airport.
Because public networks present greater security risks, no incoming communication is permitted when this profile is set.

It's in private mode.  It wasn't at first, but I've changed it

Yes, unfortunately!

Just be be totally clear,

You used the Restart option? Not Shutdown and then start up.
