I was browsing around the forums as an unregistered user, and I registered just to provide a little insight on this problem. I've had the same issue.
AVG 8.0 has a resident scanner that scans (or more-less.. "monitors") all incoming and outgoing packets, blocking unidentifiable requests. It's too lightweight to be called a firewall. If you disable the "Resident Shield" feature you will notice you gain connection again. Just port forward your router/hub if you have one, I would assume you do if your talking about seeing other computers on a network like you mentioned earlier. Open up cmd and use the 'netstat' function to get the range of http/tcp ports you'll need to forward. This should fix the problem. Otherwise.. my simplest suggestion is to turn the resident shield feature in AVG off. If all you need is a virus scanner, I may even suggest moving to something open source such as ClamWin. |
