Windows Firewall (what do I let though?)

Attached is an image of my firewall settings.
I have been having several problems with ArchiCAD and I keep wondering if it is because my firewall is blocking things. Things like some Send/Receive occasionally, and now I don't get messages from teamwork teammates. I'm wondering if I should be letting everything related to archicad 19 get through the firewall. Should I check all the ArchiCAD 19 things in this firewall dialog and let them through or are there some things we don't want to let ArchiCAD do?

Something is wrong with the image, it does not appear.
Can you repost it?

Hopefully this image works better.

I checked my Windows Firewall settings and saw that I, too, have multiple ARCHICAD 19 entries.
Your program lists each Private/Public permission in a separate row so two rows can belong to the same application. Mine, which is the default Windows Control Panel, lists both in the same row.
You can check the details for each row. When I did I found many of the items were for AC19 beta versions, which remained in the system.
If you have the same situation, you can delete all those items belonging to beta versions.
