It started happening recently, maybe after the latest upgrade where the workstations on the private network cannot access data on the server unless AVG is turned OFF. Is there a configuration switch in the firewall to allow workstations access? If yes, please provide step-by-step details to avoid confusion because I already tried a few things without success.
Thanks.
