For some reason, it couldn't bind to 127.0.0.1, even though I have no HTTP server running there.

A netstat showed that it did bind to the wireless adapter, on IP 192.168.1.101. It also didn't like running as a non-priveleged user - I supect it's the whole "priveleged port" thing going on.

So, changed /etc/hosts, and ran "lookupd -flushcache". Verified that a connection to albert.apple.com:80 works as expected.

I get the error: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. The network connection was refused."
