No Fetching
I love this software, but the fetch news function will not work. I have tried the 8787 thing, I have removed and reinstalled it, still nothing. It keeps telling me periodically that I'm not connected to the internet. What am I doing wrong?

AFAIK, "the 8787 thing" relates to an alternate port used for the content server, and won't help you at all. It isn't related to news fetching. Most likely, you have an aggressive firewall blocking Calibre from the net. Can you turn it off and retest?

I have turned off the firewall and added it to my list of acceptable programs but it still gives me nothing.

It's all a bunch of gobbledygook to me too, but thanks for trying.

Using proxies: that should tell you what proxies are being used. You change them through Internet Explorer. See here. |

Well, for some reason my Internet Explorer won't allow me to access the tool button. It also just says it's connecting, but it never connects to anything.

You may be able to reset proxies via the registry. Google is your friend. You may also want to do a good virus scan, unless you've reset the proxy settings recently.
