See, that's the thing... I'm not using a router or gateway. As for Firewall, I'm using McAfee Personal Firewall, and I already set it to grant JJ2 access to the internet, but that didn't work. Having failed that, I completly disabled and closed ALL my security software (including firewall, anti-spyware, etc.) and tried again. Nothing. Same error message. I know I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out...
