My Dropbox and a few other programs won't sync because my "proxy server refuses access" and/or there is a "port issue 316". Since i use Firefox, is it my proxy server? And how do i fix a "port issue 316"? I think this problem started when I had to perform a restore on my computer.

Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set to trust the previous version of a program, but no longer recognizes your updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem:

  • Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
  • Remove the program from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see

Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet. {web link}
