Things seem to be going really well with the latest beta apart from this silly error message "Error 108 - Update could not be completed. Please check your INTERNET connection settings"

Well - CFP report "all systems are active and running", I can surf the INTERNET, I can get and send mail, I browse this here forum as well as others etc etc and none of the other net related apps bemoan my INTERNET connection settings...........................
Anybody know what I screwed in the process of setting up?
For the record - the previous beta was running just fine and didn't have this "hassle" - before removing the old version I exported my settings and imported it into 3.0.10.238 - seemingly successful, but this makes me wonder.
