Hello,

I reinstalled MP3tag on Windows 7 64 and now I don't have acces to the tag sources any more...  
For all of them I get :

Error connecting to server : [http://webservices.amazon.com](http://webservices.amazon.com) (For Amazon for ex.)  
DNS error could not resolve [webservices.amazon.com](http://webservices.amazon.com)

I don't have any special firewall and already tried it when I deactivated spywaredoctor and Avira but it does not help.

Is it the Windows fire wall that blocks me and how can I change it?

Thanks in advance!

If you have a firewall answered the question wheterh mp3tag should connect to the internet to check for a new version with "no" then you have also blocked the access to the sources.  
You would now have to check your firewall's blacklist and delete mp3tag from it.

Two suggestions (as it is rather hard to judge from the distance):  
if you use the windows firewall delete any mp3tag entry altogether so that the firewall asks again.  
The other: if you have updated to windows 7 and had formerly a 32-bit windows xp it you could be that the sources scripts do not have the correct access rights any more.  
So check the mp3tag directory for its ownership.
