jonathanc Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Well I've been experiencing some pretty odd issues and I know its a long shot but hopefully someone could offer some input or help with my dilemma. Background : - I have been using Kaspersky 2011 which had its hiccups but everything was working fine until yesterday (which incidently was the day the 2012 version was released) - After updating to Kaspersky 2012 I find that I cannot access iStore from within iTunes. It will just say connection timeout. I have a VPN software which doesn't seem to work as well. (also timeout) - I've tried everything yesterday and I even uninstalled Kaspersky but no luck so I went to bed. - This morning when I wake up everythign seems to be working fine! So I reinstalled Kaspersky 2012 and everything seems to be fine until around an hour ago where the problem started again! So I've uninstalled Kaspersky 2012 again but problem still persists... I've rebooted a few times but still no joy. Internet etc works fine but I think any connections from problems are blocked somehow. Anyone have any idea? I will try to shutdown and restart this time but I dont think that'll make a difference. Note : I still have Kaspersky 2012 unistalled at this point.

Abz Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Do you have another laptop or PC you could diagnose the problem? Are you using the windows firewall or is it disabled & using a Kaspersky firewall? The VPN software I take it you only use when you want to VPN into work?

jonathanc Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 omg lol found out the culprit! I've set my IE to connect using proxy (only IE though) but I rarely use IE anyway so I thought I'd leave it. I think Windows somehow tries to default some connections outside of IE to use that proxy. I've turned it off and its working fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, all other browsers will use whatever proxy has been set in IE settings. Glad you got it sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
