Okay I know the I probably shouldn't have made a new thread about the same problem, but I didn't like that thread and what it had become...

The problem is fixed

Okay I could not believe this! I tried all sorts of apps that connect to the internet through various ports, with no success. Re-installed the OS, and still didn't work.

*insert drum roll*

My friend changed the time and date, because it said it was like 1:30 AM in the year 2000. He changed it to the correct time and date and now it all works flawlessly!

could someone please explain how this is?
