    I was able to connect to the iTunes store at work earlier today and was even able to update my iphone, but been having problems connecting here at home. Everytime i try to connect it prompts this message -

    "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store.
    Make sure your network connection is active and try again."

    I've already run the diagnostics on iTunes and my connection, etc. passed.

    I thought it might be my firewall so i turned it off to no avail. Using OpenDNS and it still wont connect.

    My ISP is PLDTdsl, i am using windows xp. My iMac and my wifes PB connects and works fine though so i dont think it is my internet connection.

    Anyone using a PC ever experience this? Need help.

    thanks

    I am actually able to connect to the iTunes store with my iMac and my wifes PB. Just cannot connect with my PC. I think my connection problem with my PC has nothing to do with my ISP, I think it has something to do with my PC connection to my ISP. Cannot seem to trace what the problem is though...

    I finally got my itunes to work at home. I basically had a set proxy server in my explorer set to my work. All i had to do was uncheck the tab and everything is working now.

    For those of you who have set proxies and cant get your itunes to work, go to your internet explorer, click on tools, then internet options, then click on the connections tab, below you will see LAN settings and then un-check the proxy server.

    your itunes should work now.
