I'm getting the same error, hosting with another company. People can access my hosted database from other locations, but I can't from mine. I assume some kind of port is blocked. I use a router, but I don't know what ports to open. This seems to be a network error? Or a port access problem?

 

I have no virus software, and OS firewalls are off. I too could use some assistance about what causes this. Otherwise I might as well just go buy a cheap HUB that blocks no traffic. As I asked in another post, if anyone knows a list of ports used by osC, it would be possible to open them. Does anyone know where to find such a list?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Timothy
