I - STILL - Cannot connect to the Itunes Store

Question

I am unable to connect to the Itunes store, I could connect to the radio stations, I checked the SSL and TSL setting under Internet Explorer Options, Not using proxy or any Computer based firewall, and on my router firewall I tried opening up ports 53, 5353, 443 and 3689, and even tried DMZ the box, but for no use... I still cannot connect to the store, and frankly, it is getting ridiculous. Can anyone help? maybe the neededs ports or something...
Here is the check log... and thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I don't think it is a firewall issue as the connection attempts were not blocked according to the network connectivity report.
These ones have been tricky to solve.
As a first stab, one thing you could try is to create a new Windows account and see if you can connect from there.
P.S. I noticed that the date on the report is not the same as the date of your post. This may just be when your ran the report, but it is worth checking your computer's date and time are correct.
You could also check the Advanced tab in your Internet options. If "Check for server certificate revocation" is checked. If it is, try unchecking it.
