    One PC cannot sync

    Hi! I have posted several questions in other threads but this is a new
    problem. I have had similar problems as all others (not syncing, grayed out
    icons, unexpected error, etc) so I created a new account and installed new FS
    client on all PCs I had, remapped everything, etc. It works fine on all of
    them but one (which is on the wired connection). That one will accept only
    two libraries, and if I try to add a third one, everything stops working on
    that PC only. It will not access the FS website from menus, it will not let
    itself be accessed from FS website, although it appears logged in, or will
    allow web access. That one runs WinXP with SP2, etc. I have another PC with
    the wired connection on the same router, running WinVista, and it works fine.
    I have uninstalled/reinstallled several times, nothing. Any ideas/suggetions?

    Also, I uninstalled the new client and re-installed the old one. It seems to
    be wroking. The main problem is that the "port status" tab in the settigns
    with the new client does not recognize the UPNP gateway (which is the D-Link
    router). Old client seems to recognize it. The other 5 computers on the SAME
    router (some XP some Vista) have no problems.

    Any ideas?

    To update this further if anybody from Microsoft reads this. I now removed
    the old client on BOTH login (identities) I had. I reinstalled the new client
    on both. It seems to work for now, although on Port Status tab now it says
    that TCP 6571 and TCP 8000 are blocked to accept conenctions, while TCP 443
    is enabled. On the old client, both TCP 6571 and TCP 8000 were OK.

    However, I still get frequent errors while creating and updating libraries
    via web-site.
