When ever I try to search for tag surces on [musicbrainz.org](http://musicbrainz.org) I reccive the following error message: “\>12029:12029:Unable to establish connection with the server” I checked and MP3tag does have access to the internet. The issue started after I installed the latest version, but I had other windows updates too. I was able to use the tool yesterday just fine, I just dont know where the issue lies. I unistalled the newest version and reinstalled the old version and the issue persists. So im thinking its an issue on my end… any guidance?

How did you check that MP3tag has internet access?
(I don't have problems to access musicbrainz via web source script)
