Got a problem,

Been a happy user of Kobo for well over a year, reading books on my computer via ADE, but now it has all gone haywire.

Bought well over 80 books from kobo.
Did not have an ADE account, just opted to have the books authorised to the computer (have enough damned accounts to remember as it is).
Recently started useing my local digital libary service which likewise uses ADE.

Couple of days ago i started seeing this message when i was loaning out a book from the library service:

"Error getting license
Server communication problem: E_ADEPT_IO"

No idea what the problem was, so i got rid of the error message, closed ADE and tried again, and it worked. Had a similar problem with the other book i loaned, but the same solution seemed to apply.

Had no idea it was the start of what appears to be an intractable problem.

Since then i have not been able to get any books, always coming up with the same error message.

So, i uninstalled ADE and reinstalled it, opting to authorise the computer again. no dice, same error.

So i deauthorised the computer, and then reauthorised it (the computer that is). no dice.

My kobo purchases suffer the same problem apparently.

So i tried installing ADE on a different computer and testing it out on my library account. It came up with the error, but on restarting managed to get the book. But only one. Since then; no dice.

Now, finally, i broke and decided to create a ADE account and lo the application was reauthorised once more, this time with a registered account.

But........................... same problem!

What is causing this? I obviously have a fine internet connection, so it isn't a network error.
I upgraded my firewall but have tried it since with the firewall disabled, so it isn't that.

I cannot buy/loan new books, this is a problem, how do i solve it?
Why has it happened?

Your help is appreciated.
