iTunes cannot connect to the update server
My iTunes version is 10.6.0.40.
I cannont connect to the iTunes store or any of the update servers.
I've tried many solutions offered on the support forums as well as microsoft's support forums.
My network works fine for everything else... streaming video, playing multiplayer games, browsing web, purchasing products etc...
Any help is much appreciated.
Solutions tried:
Setting LAN to "automatically detect settings"
Clearing my "SSL state"
Flushing my DNS
Changing DNS servers
Restarting router
Configured router to accept iTunes
Resetting all internet explorer settings to default
Creating a new administrator account and using iTunes through it
Disabling all internet security programs
Disabling firewall
Checking the windows hosts file for apple update servers (none are listed, so this is fine I suppose)
