>On the Miscellaneous page, there is a 'Check for updates' option. If you click on it, does it show any updates to install?
It gives me Error 108 - problem with Internet connection settings. I have no problem connecting with Internet.
Also, recently somewhere in settings (forgot where) I found an option to close all incoming ports - it was said, it's safest option for less experienced users.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
