Fresh install W8 -> 8.1 now HTTP data is blocked???

[zazou]

Not musch experience on win 8, but on win 7 I would try:

turn firewall off and try ?

turn off av & browsing proxies.

make sure I turn them all back on when I'm done (for the pedants).

make sure the network location was correct

do a ping & nslookup to check dns.

Been there, done that (see previous comments)

Call MS. If Win 8 refused the key they can reactivate it for you. You might have to go back to the Win 8 install though and then do the 8.1 update.

I've been in contact with Microsoft about activation over the phone but when the browsers can't connect to the Internet there isn't much I nor they can do.
