I just discovered that I cannot connect with spotify, even tough there is no problem with my internet connection.
Im kind of in a hurry to cononect because I have some download credits that expire tomorrow..
Anyone experiencing the same problems?
Any tips for fixing this?
Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂
Do you get any error messages when you try and connect? Posting them here would be a great help! 😉
Also are you running any security or firewall software? Some programs automatically block Spotify because it uses peer-to-peer connections, so you will need to add it as an exception in your software.

i actually had the same problem than i looked at what peerblock was blocking and it was demolishing all spotify ip addresses so you will have to alter your lists if using this program
um, i had the same problem which persisted for more than 2 weeks. my webplayer seemed to work fine but the desktop app wouldnt connect even though my internet was fine.
i think i just fixed it by running spotifyhelper.exe and spotifywebhelper.exe which i found in the C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Spotify\Data folder.
not sure what caused them to stop running. Please reply here if it works for anyone else having this issue
It actually did work for me! Thanks!
I have the same issue, it just says connecting constantly and never actually gets anywhere or stops trying, no error messages or anything.
I'm using Windows 8
Just so I can orient myself, which situation is happening

I've experienced this myself, and it only appeared during the implementation of websense with my former employer. They confirmed it was blocking portions of Spotify but being very early in the implementation, didn't yet have a handle on how to fully allow or fully block Spotify. The workaround in my case was to use one of our proxies to bypass Websense until they got it all configured.
Have you tried

error code 4
@Rolf2: Some questions for you:
Some people have reported success by manually creating firewall exclusions for Spotify. Although the firewall shouldn't be blocking it, and other things are able to access the Internet, this may still be worth exploring.
