Disable your firewall, antivirus, and spyware to see if the unit connects.
If it does, determine which is the culprit.
It will probably turn out to be the firewall.
The desktop program is supposed to properly configure the firewall when setup, but sometimes it does not happen, or somehow forgets.
You might also try removing, then installing the Tivo Desktop again to try and let it reconfigure the network/firewall settings properly.
Mine did the same thing yesterday. So far, so good.
You won't lose any transferred shows if you do this.
All of the above is assuming the Tivo desktop was previously working properly and connecting with the Tivo and succesfully transferring.
