Good news for you man. I'm here to fix your problem. Some piece of antivirus/firewall/parentalcontrol doesn't allow inbound/outbound connections to your Mintcoin application.
Firstly, exit the Mintcoin wallet.
To reset the Windows Firewall you:
-Start the ' cmd.exe ' application, but with Administrative privileges (run as Admin). This is the Command Line Interpreter like we were used to in MS-DOS days.
-Enter the command ' netsh advfirewall reset '. It will reply with OK if it's done and your firewall rules will be completely reset.
(But this is the quick way.
Either thing, somestuff is blocking your ports.)
As you have completely reset Windows Firewall now, it will ask you what to allow for each application that uses a network.
So, start your Mintcoin wallet again, and select 'Allow access for public networks', when Windows Firewall asks you. That's an important step you see, as you're defining a new rule for Internet access (public networks). If you don't allow access here for public networks (internet access), then no minting. So make sure you turn access for public networks on. Maybe you did not tick that box when you installed the wallet.
Also check your antivirus firewall rules if you have them. Reset it.
Public network = internet
Private network = not what we need here
Did it work?
By the way, a new website is coming.
