What is the status of your firewall then. I mean ingoing connections and outgoing connections. Are they blocked or allowed.

[Search windows firewall]

Just Windows default settings, and if I get prompted in specific cases to allow something through I'll decide on a case by case basis. I can't recall if the firewall asked me to allow TLCV or not, but I'll take a closer look when I get home.

Almost looks like I have to follow a course advanced Windows 8.1 system and network administration (probably costing 30000 dollars to get certified), just to view some chess games.

Well, I don't know why it doesn't work for you. It should simply just work. I'll take a closer look when I get home, but I don't think I'll find anything.

Could it be it has something to do with virus checker. My firewall settings also seems to have default standard values.

I use Norton Internet security. Nothing special.

I checked the firewall, and yes chessviewer is specified there as an application that has permission. So it seems I must have been prompted some time in the past, and granted it permission. You should have been prompted to do the same I think, if not then you have to enter it manually.

It's not there on my machine. I don't understand why it uses

C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\Temp_1\Temp1_client.zip\setup.exe

for I even don't have an AppData map under user

you sure? AppData is hidden from the default folder view. but you can probably get there at the command line, or by entering it directly into the address bar.

cd C:\Users\user\AppData

I am having the same problem. Turning off firewall doesn't help; nor does killing virus protection. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks

That is so weird ! Sorry but I don't know what else the problem could be. Maybe try and run it as administrator, but I don't see why that might work.

I added Tom's Live Chess Viewer as an app which has permission to communicate via Windows firewall. But no effect.

[I also saw that the setup of TLCV was in quarantine, but I already have TLCV so no setup needed]
