Thanks for your help. as it turns out I did not need to disable the
firewall which I thought I should in order to reinstate my network.
So my Firewall is still in place

Blair,
If you are using the Free version of AVG, I don't believe that you do have a
firewall feature. It is included with, the paid versions. So you will to use
the firewall provided by MS, in your router, or third party ones, like
ZoneAlarm. So as soon as possible enable a firewall, especially if PC is
connected to the internet.

Start | Control Panel | Security Center | Windows Firewall.
