What I found out was that all it did was check the timezone that I had set windows to. Once I changed the timezone back from Israel to US it worked, ever overseas.

Try it, and let us know if that still works.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, my time was set to EST US time so no go. Just for the heck of it I tried setting it to Asia and then back to EST but it still did not let me get on.
