Hi Chris,

If you use VPS you can contact virtual-server@myhosting.com for assistance

For question number 2, Seems like your firewall block lfs port, Hope this lfs firewall guide help

* Open the Windows Firewall, from the control Panel, and goto Advanced.
* Select your Network Connection you want to allow connections from, under Network Connection Settings, and then click the Settings button.
* Click Add. Give it a Description of "LFS (TCP/63392)", set the Name or IP to 127.0.0.1, put 63392 as both Port Numbers, and select TCP. Click Ok.
* Click Add. Give it a Description of "LFS (UDP/63392)", set the Name or IP to 127.0.0.1, put 63392 as both Port Numbers, and select UDP. Click Ok.
* Depending on your setup, this final one may not apply. I've come across a particular hotfix which appeared to change the behaviour of the Windows Firewall. Try it without first, if it doesnt work then click Add. Give it a Description of "LFS (TCP/29339)", set the Name or IP to 127.0.0.1, put 29339 as both Port Numbers, and select TCP. Click Ok.

Cheers
