2. Firewalls, Security Programs and Anti-Virus Software
If you are using a firewall or anti-virus software you will need to set them to recognize and trust the application. Connection problems caused by firewalls are most likely when you first run and after you update to a new version.
The easiest way to fix this is to go to the firewall permissions and remove all references to application and let the firewall prompt/relearn.
Also be sure you are only running one firewall at a time. Two or more firewalls will conflict with each other and can cause connection problems.
If your software firewall has the application added to its exception list, the other possibility is that your router has a firewall blocking the application. This has been seen with some D-Link routers.

3. Install latest security and OS updates
If you see an error such as: Byte array is too large...
This is because your current OS does not have the latest security patches. Check windows update and be sure to include the 128 bit key update.
4. P2P, FTP and Web Server Applications
Programs such as Kazaa, LimeWire, BitTorrent, or Exeem can use large amounts of bandwidth and can cause time-outs and connection problems. These should be paused or turned off when the application starts if they are suspected.
5. Viruses, netlimiting and anonymous IP masking programs
