  1. Ok guys so, quite honestly I didn't know where else to turn, I've never seen/experienced/heard of anything remotely relating to the nature of this problem before, some background information: Everything working perfectly fine using a wireless connection to neighbors internet whilst waiting for mine to be installed (With permission, ofc) Today the engineer finally comes around, sorts out the phone line and voila, very own internet access, speed is brilliant I may add, however... The problem lies here on; I can download files, torrents, stream movies/music, but when it comes to a program automatically updating itself its an entirely different kettle of fish, 3 examples are as follows; (All are games, no other software needs updating today) * Star Wars KOTOR - Clicked 'UPDATE', it simply cannot connect to update server * World of Warcraft - Won't even display news on the clients splash screen, fails to update as it should, simply giving an error saying it cannot do it * Full Tilt Poker (Now this is the icing on the cake, everything else failed, I'm bored, so thought hey why not, bit of cyber gambling, double click the client, it informs me there is new updates to download and install, I consent, only to get "Cannot download update" Has anyone ANY idea what this voodoo magic is? Things I have tried: * Putting the software on the 'allow' list of the new ISP's router firewall * Checking the software is on my current antivirus softwares firewall exceptions list * Disabling one, two and then all three of the firewalls (Windows defender FW, AVG FW and ISP's FW (BT) * Restarting computer after said changes were made * Throwing a pouch of tobacco across the lounge * Inevitably annoying my girlfriend due to getting enraged about this oh so trivial yet oh so bloody annoying issue. Help/advice would be GREATLY appreciated on this matter, I admit I am new to this forum, I generally never have any PC problems due to studying the silly things for a few years, but this is completely beyond me, and Google led me to yours truely. Have mercy :(
