Could not connect to network

Hi, I copied and moved TTG onto a new pc and everything seems to work except I get an error message: “Could not connect to network. You need to be online to use TTG Publisher” when I click on Check Authentication in the Lightroom Publishing Manager Plugin. I’m using Lightroom CC and CE4Suite & CE4-Publisher.lrplugin. I still have the TTG CE4 Publisher installed on my older pc and that one can still authenticate as I haven’t removed it because I wanted to verify that I can upload from the new pc first. Is the problem caused by having the CE4 still installed and activated on the old pc? If not, what have I done incorrectly when I migrated all the files onto the new pc?

Re: Could not connect to network

It sounds like the pc you're using isn't connected to the internet?

Could your firewall or other protection software be blocking TTG-Publisher?

Re: Could not connect to network

I can surf the internet fine with the new pc and I didn't configure the firewall to block anything so I am missing something else? I have it setup the same way as my old pc. Could it be that I copied all the Lightroom files and preferences from my old pc and imported them?

Re: Could not connect to network

sometimes I need to specifically tell Windows Firewall to allow a program to do its thing. I've never had that issue with TTG Publisher though.
Do you have more than one program that can create a firewall? I've found that I need to disable the firewall in my internet protection/virus protection software if I'm also using Windows firewall. If both are running, some things just won't connect, like my home network.

As far as your Lightroom preferences, I don't see how they would mess things up. I usually just copy that entire Lightroom\ folder that contains all the presets, web engines, modules, etc from one pc to the other.

Re: Could not connect to network

Can you connect to other services with Lightroom Publishing services? like Facebook, etc.?

Re: Could not connect to network

Rod, thank you! I added Lightroom in my firewall setting to allow outbound traffic and it now works.
