Problem connecting to Pulse online

[omega329]

I'm having trouble connecting to pulse online, I get the error message: "The connection to PLAYSTATION(R)Network timed out" however, I can browse the internet, login to wipeout-game.com through pulse and download custom skins completely fine.
I have tried rebooting my psp, however, this does not help. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Switch off any firewalls?

I have the same problem, and nothing happened after turning off firewalls..:brickwall

It seems to work, the only trouble is that my wifi connection is a wifi max running through my computer, and I don't really want trojans/rootkits/viruses added to my computer, or my files read by some mischevious hacker/script kiddie.
I guess I'll do it the hard way and look through the blocked packets logs and match it with the times I try and connect, then free those ports.
Unless anyone has any better ideas...
BTW, I'm running AVG 8.0
