Network connection timed out....err 3259

Please help! iphone5 is in recovery mode after trying to update to iOS 7, but will not restore. Keep getting "network connection timed out' error 3259. I have disabled my firewall, uninstalled any sort of antivirus (was Norton), flushed dns cache, uninstalled/reinstalled itunes twice, started itunes "run as administrator", many times restarting my computer. Made sure the time/time zone were correct on my computer. What am I doing wrong?

Super frustrated--my iphone is basically useless until I can restore it.

I would go to an apple store to ask these questions, but the nearest one is 3 hours away.

PLEASE HELP!!! 😢
