st: Connecting to Internet

[George Shoukry <gshoukry@gmail.com>]

Hello,

My Stata refuses to do anything that requires internet access. The
error I get is r(676) (server refused request to send). For example:

Command: net
Output:
server refused request to send
http://www.stata.com/ either
  1)  is not a valid URL, or
  2)  could not be contacted, or
  3)  is not a Stata download site (has no stata.toc file).
r(676);

Yes, I read the FAQ (http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/web/). I am
using my home network (I have an internet connection password), no
proxies, and I have no firewall. I disabled the my virus checkers,
whitelisted Stata in Windows firewall, and even disabled Windows
firewall completely. There's nothing that should be blocking Stata
from accessing the internet. Any help would be appreciated.
