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

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.
