Can't connect to iTunes store?

Hey guys,

This started happening a few days ago. At first I figured it was Apple's fault (some server issue or something), so I let it go, but I still can't seem to connect to the iTunes store from my computer. Other computers on the same home network are able to connect.
This started happening since I moved my computer out of the dorm back to my house for the summer. Obviously I'm on a different connection now.
I recently changed my firewall software (to Eset Smart Security Professional), but I do not think that the firewall is causing the connection problem, because not only have I added exceptions for everything Apple or iTunes-related, but disabling the firewall completely also does nothing to solve the problem.


Thanks for any help you can provide!

Please open iTunes and navigate to Help -> Network Diagnostics. Run the diagnostics and then copy and paste the report into your next reply.

Results of iTunes Network Diagnostic:

Network connectivity: Network Interfaces Verified (Green Box)

iTunes Store Connectivity: Internet Connection Failed (Yellow Box)
Secure Link to iTunes Store Failed (Red Box)

iTunes seems to be the only program that is having any sort of issue with my Internet connection... everything else is working just fine

Can you provide the full text of the diagnostic report? There is a lot more troubleshooting information in that than you get with the boxes. :)

On a somewhat-related note, do you think this is causing issues with my iPhone Remote app not working? I was going to start a new thread but figured since iTunes is acting up maybe it'd be better to wait. What happens is, it detects the remote like it's supposed to, but when I enter the passcode that is displayed on my iPhone screen it says it's wrong, no matter what. I've tried like a hundred times :-\

Is there a reason that you are using a proxy server? That typically causes a problem when trying to connect to the iTunes store.

Navigate to Control Panel -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings. Then uncheck the box that says "Use a proxy server for your LAN".

Problem solved, tyvm! :)
I think I needed to have that box checked while on my university's LAN.
Out of curiosity, why did iTunes seem to be the only program that was having trouble because of this?
