2. Check your firewall settings
In order to check the firewall settings, you need to open a command prompt and type "netsh advfirewall show all". This will show all the firewall rules that are currently in place. Next, you need to determine which rule is causing the inet_e_resource_not_found error. To do this, you will need to determine the protocol that is being blocked and then look for the rule that is blocking that protocol.

If you are unable to determine which rule is causing the inet_e_resource_not_found error, you can try to disable all the firewall rules and then re-enable them one by one until you find the rule that is causing the problem.
