Hello.

Apologies for this being my first post, but I'm hoping someone can help.

My son has been messing about with the firewall settings on this Curve 8520. The app FourSquare has been in use for over a week without a problem, but after turning the firewall on and restarting the phone, the following error has appeared:-

"The application FourSquare has attempted to open a connection to a location inside the firewall and outside the firewall which is not allowed by your IT policy."

Everytime I click OK to remove the message, it comes straight back up and I can get no further.

I've tried connecting the device to the PC, but after the PCs asks for the password the connection does not appear.

Can anyone tell me how to:

1) bypass the error message, or
2) make it connect to the PC with the error message in place, or
3) factory restore the device without doing it from the device

Any help gratefully received. I've been a BB user for years so it's not a matter of daft parent can't make it work

Cheers

Andrew

PS - sincere apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place.
