Hello


I have found that this kind of error is usually related to the icloud application not being able to address the network on specific ports. Check to see that:

  1. Firewall rules are not stopping communications
  2. Anti-Virus / Anti-Malware programs are stopping execution
  3. Network stack is in order.


Items 1 and 2 are generally the easiest to check, Item 3 requires checking WINSOCK PROVIDERS to ensure remnants of old TCP or UDP sessions are not "stuck". A reset of the WINSOCK stack generally clears up remaining problems. [ netsh winsock reset ]


Hope this helps
