· Ping (ICMP type 0 - Incoming echo request)

Change this setting only if the AVG Network Installer is not able to detect

network station(s), which you are sure are switched on and fully operational.

In the firewall settings used on the remote station allow the incoming ping

requests within the local network. Often this function can be found under ICMP

type 0 or Incoming echo request or similar description. If set correctly, AVG

Network Installer will be able to find the station in the network.

· File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

To allow AVG Network Installer access to a remote station over the Admin$

share, you first need to allow File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Network

on the remote station. Specifically you must allow TCP ports 139 and 445 and

UDP ports 137, 138 and 445. This way the AVG Network Installer can copy

the AVG Agent to the remote station.

As a first step you should check, that the File and Printer Sharing for

Microsoft Networks is installed on the remote station. If you are using Windows

2000 or XP, you can find the settings under Start/Settings/Network connections.

In the properties window of the Network connections, tick the File and Printer

Sharing for Microsoft Networks. If you cannot see such an item, then it is

probably not installed yet. In this case, please contact your station administrator

or install the component yourself from the installation CD.

If the File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks is successfully installed,

you need to allow the ports mentioned above in the firewall installed on the

remote station. If for example the built-in Windows XP firewall is used, you can

easily allow this feature by clicking the File and Printer Sharing item located in

the Exceptions tab.

· RPC: Remote Procedure Call

To be able to launch the AVG Agent on the remote station, you need to allow

the following ports in the firewall on the station – TCP and UDP port 135.

· Communication on TCP port number 6150

For correct communication between the AVG Network Installer and the AVG

Agent component you need to first allow communication on TCP port 6150.

Using this port the AVG Network Installer controls the AVG Agent tool and passes

it the AVG installation files.
