I use Avast anti virus. Avast updated this morning and I could no longer use my Flex 6700. It did not show up in SSDR.
I checked and the upgraded Avast was blocking SSDR, DAX and CAT applications. I added overriding firewall rules but that didn't work.
I then noticed on the Firewall page that during the upgrade Avast changed my Ethernet connection from private to public which then violated the access rules. This was causing the problem. I changed it back to private and everything worked.
Anyone using Avast should watch out for this.

Yes, having your Ethernet connection marked as Public will shut you down. It makes your laptop/computer think you are on a public lan connection (like being in a Starbucks).

Will it serve up a french vanilla latte?

No- you must come up here to Seattle to get that...

That's not in Seattle- I see sunshine.
