My Calibre stopped connecting to the internet so it no longer will download covers, metadata, or anything. It didn't even notify me that an update had occurred. I read some older posts and tried resetting environment variables but this only seemed to make it worse. At least before it looked like it was trying to search, now it doesn't even bother. I restarted in debug mode and this is the information I got:
calibre Debug log

Please, oh, please can someone tell me how to fix this mess?
