I recently moved my computer to my home office (new network).
The internet is working fine for other programs, but Spotify 'could not connect to the internet'. I can still log in and use Spotify through the browser, and I can run Spotify via my other Personal computer on the same network.
After reading through a bunch of Community posts, I decided to do a remove/re-install.
Now that my Spotify is re-installed, I tried to "Log in with Facebook" as normal, but I received a bunch of different errors - all relating to "A firewall may be blocking Spotify". The most recent error being 117.

Trouble-shooting I have already done:
- Completed all updates on my computer, and restarted.
- Uninstalled Spotify completely, and re-installed.
- Turned OFF the standard Windows Firewall, as well as the Virus protection
- Changed the Proxy settings to "No Proxy". I have no idea how to find the HTTP proxy settings to add this manually as I have seen in other suggested fixes??
- Turned ON the Firewall and Virus protection, and added Spotify to the "allowed apps" list for both Private and Public networks.

None of the above actions have worked, and I am still getting a range of errors from 117 to 20?23?28? - something like those, all relating to the Firewall EVEN WHEN IT IS TURNED OFF.
I have seen in the Spotify Troubleshooting guide, that I may need to ensure my router allows Spotify in/out traffic. I have no idea how to do that and cannot seem to find further information on how I am supposed to do that.

EDIT:
- I have now figured out how to access the Firewall on my router, and have gone through the process of adding Spotify to it via the instructions on portforward.com. No luck.
- I have also found the Proxy settings in my router settings to try putting in the HTTP proxy manually, and I get error 4: no internet connection detected. (so I changed this back to auto detect.)
- Turned off the Firewall on my router, and the Firewall on my PC and got error 30: "A Firewall may be blocking Spotify".
- I then turned off the Proxy setting in Spotify for sh!ts & gigs and got Error 7: "Service is temporarily unavailable."
This is getting utterly ridiculous.
