none of this is working!!

 

I cheked and added it to the Windows Firewall and that DID NOT solve the problem - I then check the Anti-virus program and turned off the firewall and that WORKED!

Seems to be a DNS problem on my machine. ipconfig /flushdns fixed it.

You are a Golden God. If a firewall isn’t the problem that is.

Remeber for the less computer adept goto:
Start –> Run —> cmd

then type:

ipconfig /flushdns

Thank you very much sir, that was most defintly my problem. That Geek above for the solution!
