I have since received a response from Hugo at Cake poker and have pasted it here. I use gmail so my response to Hugo's e-mail is above Hugo's response...

It is in regards to the Windows Firewall:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello Hugo,

I am only using the default windows firewall. As I stated in the previous e-mail, an exception was created for Cake Poker. Also I tried disabling the firewall and then opening Cake but had the same problem.

To be specific, the firewall is simply called: Windows Firewall.

Thank you for your help with this.

Sincerely,

gefishy
