In case anyone else has this problem, here'e what mine was.

It was caused by my 3rd party firewall (Anthenium Security Suite) provided
free by my ISP (cox.net.)

Set the firewall to Medium and everything works fine. If it is set to High,
the error messege appears.

Don't know why something didn't ask for permission while set on High.

Anyway, hope this will help someone.
