General discussion

Hi Charles,

We're glad to look into this & help you.
Sometimes, this might happen if few firewall settings are not modified on your program.
Please follow the below steps to check the required settings :
Open AVG Internet Security - Menu - Settings - Full protection - Firewall - System rules - Enable 'Allow windows file & printer sharing'
If issue persists, you can try enabling 'Internet connection sharing' in the firewall settings.

Keep us posted.

I have read similar problem and proposed solutions that are somewhat dated.  I tried to follow the solutions offered without success.  I updated AVG Internet Security to version 20.9.3152 (build 20.9.5758.611).  Please advise.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Santhosh,

I changed all the settings in System Rules to enabled, except for stealth mode for public networks.  Could not find 'Internect connection sharing' switch.  The problem persists.

Thanks,

Charlie
