    Well, you didn't search very hard.

    I already found the reason for the error code and posted on the other thread you started for the same problem.

    This is the top hit I got from Google when searching for this error message, so it should include the answer.

     

    For everyone else who lands here, error 4403F is Internet Recovery getting blocked by a firewall or proxy.  The thread discussing it is over here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4102525

    lazy as.

     

    box your mac up and return it immediately for a full refund coz you don't deserve to own a computer. Next you will be asking someone on this forum to plug your mac into a power point coz you can't manage it.

     

    Alex (see below) posted the right answer - in short, your internet recovery doesn't work without the internet.

    tee144..  first that just isn't a nice answer..   Bashing someone for not knowing something is just wrong.  and I was always told if your not part of the solution your part of the problem.

     

    Second..   Alex's post was just about worthless as yours..   Because Googling some words and posting other responses..  ah dah don't mean anything especially when its incorrect

     

    Lastly..  all the other posts on solutions for this PROBLEM - are just wrong and plain shots in the dark.  because it is NOT a firewall or port blocking problem..  period.

     

    I have perfect internet - no firewall..  Spent time on this issue (as I am working on it for a client) by trying several different internet provides at different locations that I own..  result was always the same

     

    So I went further  by checking the traffic with a packet capture..  Apple just is NOT answering back..    the only resolve can come from Apple because my traffic goes out to them and gets no replies..
