HT201413 how do i test a port on my windows 7 computer? i followed the steps in this article, but the command prompt said that "telnet" is not a valid command.

So I havent been able to connect to the iTunes store since June. It's getting a tad annoying. I followed all of the troubleshooting steps that i could find, and I am currently on the last one, which involves making sure that the ports that iTunes needs to function are open on my computer. I followed the article that was telling me how to do this, found my ip address, and was on the step where you actually check the port. I was told to use the command telnet, but when i did, the command prompt told me that " 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file." So, I seem to be stuck. If someone could enlighten me on how to actually check if a port is open, or how to fix error code 11222, please let me know.

Windows 7 may need telnet installed, as mentioned in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(v=ws.10).aspx
I think 11222 is actually support.apple.com/kb/TS4123. Is that what you see?
I'm guessing you have one of the programs listed there and updating it may resolve.
Tricky bit is some software is bundled with other software - like RealPlayer Plus bundles Speedbit.
I hope that helps.
