A mac. I found this and this worked. From apple support website

On Mac:
* Open Finder
* Hold down COMMAND + SHIFT keys and press 'G'
* Enter "/private/etc/" in the field and press "Go"
* Find "hosts" file in the directory
* Drag the file to your desktop
* Open it in text editor
* Remove the line that has gs.apple.com entirely or put a # at the beginning of it to comment it out
* Save the file
* Drag it back to the /private/etc/ folder.
* You'd need to enter your username and password to authenticate the move

I wonder if you had tried to reload the firmware from DFU mode if it would have been any different. In DFU mode the current firmware is not loaded during the restore it's a low level type restore. Well atleast you got it working.

I tired that and it that did not work, guess ill see if the change I made to the host file fixes it so I dont have the problem again.

On Windows:

* Locate the hosts file in one of the following directories:

Windows 95/98/Me c:\windows\hosts
Windows NT/2000/XP Pro c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Windows XP, Vista, 7 c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

* Right click and click on "Open With..." and then click on "Notepad" on the list.

* Remove the line that has gs.apple.com completely and save the file.

This should work fine but you will lose all music, photos, videos and books :S

I've tried this with windows 7 but it won't let me save the file it just says access denied. Any ideas?
