iPhone Won't Restore....

Help please...
I have an iPhone 4 on 4.1, trying to update to 4.2.1, got 1013 error. Then I tried to restore got the same 1013 error.Tried to restart, different usb, even DFU mode, error still exists.
Latest Mac OS X 10.6.6, iTunes 10.1.1. I checked on the error information says the port 80 and 443 is needed to be open (what are those?), how can they not be open by default???
How to open it? I'm on cable, with time capsule router connected by wifi...

Many Thanks in advance....

iMac Core2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

If 1013, I copied this from another thread, it worked a treat for me the other day when I kept getting error 1013

More complete solution for those not knowing where to find the file:

On Mac:
Open Finder
Hold down COMMAND + SHIFT keys and press 'G'
Enter "/private/etc/" in the field and press "Go"
Find "hosts" file in the directory
Drag the file to your desktop
Open it in text editor
Remove the line that has gs.apple.com entirely or put a # at the beginning of it to comment it out
Save the file
Drag it back to the /private/etc/ folder.
You'd need to enter your username and password to authenticate the move

On Windows:

Locate the hosts file in one of the following directories:
Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP, Vista, 7 c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Right click and click on "Open With..." and then click on "Notepad" on the list.
Remove the line that has gs.apple.com completely and save the file.
This should work fine.
