Ahem... Somewhat embarrassing I must confess:
I found out that the firewall was the cause for this.
About a week ago I got really fed up with Windows (dimwitted) defender constantly putting files into quarantine (And they've effed up the navigation, although it's gotten some improvement lately regarding quarantined items) and a firewall that I couldn't use the way I wanted it to (blocking out certain IP's), so I installed Eset Av/Smart security (Yeah, riiiight) and put it in interactive mode, meaning I had to permit or deny any files or traffic.Or at least, that was the thought.
Turned out it wasn't allowing some traffic, if it was one directional, global, intranet or whatever I changed. I don't remember, it was late, I'm a little senile sometimes and... Meh..
Anywhoo, this software suit will soon be replaced with something else, since Eset too have screwed up their software, and I can't help to think since it seem to be Russian, I might be exposed to espionage, who knows..? I really liked the old version... 6 I think it was. Sleek, super-quick and easy. Now it's all graphics and funky menus.
Oh well, can't have it like I used to I'm afraid. I'd love however to see XP revitalized pretty much as it was (Don't say Real OS- It's nowhere near ready yet, if it'll ever be) and... Ehh.. I could just as well make Christmas wishlist while I'm at it, but I won't.
So, subs are once again downloadable thanks to a specified hands-the-eff-off rule in the firewall.
I'm glad it was that easy, otherwise it'd be somewhat of a problem as I have an, as I pointed out earlier, an specific assigned IP-address to which I have a domain pointed to.
So, until next time I suppose, and thanks for replying!
