Unable to reach Adobe Servers for no apparent reason

I had to switch to another PC laptop because the other one broke and I can't get Adobe apps to work. First it was creative cloud: I kept getting "error 206" even though everything else online was working well. I tried all kinds of stuff, including disabling the firewall, cleaning adobe credentials, switching OS language, different wireless network, etc... so many different things that I can't even remember anymore and nothing worked. Then someone got me a slightly older installer of creative cloud and then everything seemed to work fine: Creative cloud files were synching, Illustrator was installing, etc...

That is... until I opened up illustrator and got a "can't connect to servers" message. Tried other versions of illustrator through the creative cloud app with no success. Keep in mind that while I get this message, all my creative cloud files are properly synching in seconds and on my Mac at home everything is working perfectly fine.

I've spent so many hours on this and I just can't get it to work... The pc in question is an asus pro laptop from around 2015 if I'm not mistaken and everything is updated to the latest versions.

I've tried everything I found on the forums and nothing works. If I didn't have my mac at home I wouldn't be able to work! Which is completely unacceptable for a monthly subscription of any service of this kind!

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks!
