Bitdefender 2013 Causes Sonos Problems

Hi RGHamilton,

Please make sure to have these settings in the product:

http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=35496

If the issue still persists, kindly perform this test:

- bring up the Bitdefender interface

- click on Settings > go to Firewall panel > Settings tab > General rules

- set all the rules from the new window to "Allow" > close > restart the machine

Please reply to this post and let me know how is everything going. Thank you.

Thank you for the info, however, I had already seen the above information somewhere on the site and implemented it a couple weeks ago. Just to be sure I got both steps correct, I went into BD to ensure it matches your information above. The problem still exists.

As much as I like BD, I will have to let it expire next month and replace it with a product that isn't interferring with Sonos since I literally use it every day, all day long and I would not want to leave off the BD firewall just prevent interferrence with Sonos.

I presume the real problem is that BD is not allowing the specific SONOS ports to communicate. If there is an ability in DB to allow specific ports then I sure can't find it, yet I thought I remember it having that capability long ago. Maybe the problem is that I just can't find how to allow specific ports to communicate.
