For the past several days - after not having connected to my online profile in some months - I am unable to get a connection to Invelos from within DVD Profiler. Neither to my own collection nor to check for updates [though I just saw I am running the latest release]. While trying to connect I got a 'Socket error 10030' [not quite sure the number is fully correct], which then couldn't be sent via automatic error report - as no connection to the Invelos server was possible.

Did I miss anything important? How to solve this?

[Edit]
a) It's Socket error 10013. Access denied.
b) I didn't change any settings in the firewall between last time it worked [beginning of May this year] and now.
c) DVD Profiler is allowed to connect outbound and inbound.

Curiously it turns out that the firewall is the culprit, switching it off completely gives me access. Baffled - and currently no idea how to get DVDProfiler to connect with firewall switched on ...

[Edit]
What a day ...

OK, which port does DVD Profiler use/expect?

F-Secure.

Scanning through some forums it seems that F-Secure has some severe problems with their 2010 version.
Couldn't check yet, if there's a newer version (bugfix) of the main-program available, since F_Secure doesn't seem to publish such info on their homepage.

If the options of F-Secure allow you to set predefined general rules for applications try to give DVDProfiler the same rights as a browser would have.

Best option seems to be to completely uninstall F-Secure (WARNING!! Do so only by using the uninstall program you get from the F-Secure support, otherwise you might severely harm your system) and do a reinstall afterwards. If possible, set F-Secure into a "Learn"-mode (usually limited to one week) where it automatically allows all outgoing traffic and learns the necessary rules for this (WARNING!!Do so only on a known healthy system)

DVD Profiler didn't give any trouble even with FS 2010 up until now [see above], it is set to connect freely. The specific error code I get [see above] is for ports, which can be set if one knows which port is used [as you made clear, DVD Profiler flexibly chooses what's available].

F-Secure deploys updates automatically in the background and is usually quite quick to fix problems; any mishap brought by FS to my DVDP connection, I gather, will be dealt with [IOW: for the time being it's just an annoyance].

Thanks for the help so far!

Thanks, Forum Moderator, good to know and have the port handy.

It seems there had indeed been something wrong with an update of F-Secure this week as not only can I connect to Invelos via DVD Profiler again - after having been asked to allow the connection -, other programs I have to allow anew, too, pointing to another update clearing older authorisations.

I am having the same problem: not possible to connect to the DB updates (also using F-Secure).
Anybody has a solution ?
