How do I allow Wi-Fi sync through AVG Firewall (AVG Internet Security 2012)

So if you're looking at my profile, my first issue (-50) error has been solved. Now the second issue. As stated in the previous thread, I've tried Wi-Fi Sync on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5. It *will* work if my AVG Internet Security's Firewall is disabled. However if I enable it, my iPhone disappears from the iTunes window.

I've also identified certain ports remote/local used that seemed to match those on a KB article at Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1629 and have them opened but I'm not sure if I've configured them correctly.

Is anyone keen with this issue? How do I configure AVG to allow Wi-Fi sync?

Thanks in advance.

iPhone 4, Windows 7, iOS5

Wifi sync now works intermittently (notably when i first sync wired, then unplug), but now home sharing works properly. Had trouble getting the remote app on my iphone to find my library but now it works fine so thanks for the help!

I can't get wifi sync to work at all anymore even after syncing wired, unchecking and checking wifi sync option, restarting itunes and all related services. I've opened every port that logs as blocked in avg and still no luck. Remote however continues to work fine. I have no idea what has changed since it worked last time.

Ok so somehow wifi sync just started working again. The only thing I did really was turn on a couple of rules in the advanced setting within Windows Firewall. But it's not even turned on so I don't know how that would've helped...

Anyway it's working again (for now). Slightly confusing.
