AVG 8 SBS firewall problems since AVG 8.0.196 update

[DanielUK]

Hi,

Before I get involved in the long winded troubleshooting that happens with AVG, I was wondering whether anyone else has had these problems I'm getting.

A lot of my workstations (WinXP Professional and Windows 2000) in the last couple of days, are not getting connected to the LAN and the Internet and have I have to disable the firewall to get online.

There is an FAQ entry relating to a problem with the 8.0.196 update.

http://www.avg.com/faq.num-1066#faq_1066

I have tried the fixfiles.exe fix and that did not do fix it. I still consistently get:

Profile / Conflict
Computer in domain
Application: Various System Services

when I run the Firewall configuration wizard on the workstation. When I look in the settings I cannot work out which of the Various System Services are causing the problem. All I know is that it used to work before the update!

Anyone with a network experience this lately and did you have to do anything special to get it working?

Thanks

Dan

Have not had that problem yet but have you tried disabling all the components and seeing if that lets you thru.

Yes, when I disable the firewall or Allow All, everything starts working.

It's rather annoying as it was working fine on the workstations. Now on all of them, I get the conflict I mentioned above when I run the configuration wizard. Even though I "Add to Default" to allow it to proceed to the review screen and then save it, if I run it again it still comes up with the conflict.
