Hi, thanks for reaching out and testing the firewall. 

Are you working on a computer managed by IT, or is it your personal computer? If it's an IT-managed machine, please try getting the necessary ports whitelisted. You can find the list here: https://adobe.ly/43O2Sa3

@chango 2180 How do you know the firewall is the problem?

 

What version NUMBER of Lightroom Classic do you have? We need the version NUMBER and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date".

I have verified that turning off windows firewall allows it to work
