Edit your hosts file. You've edited it before. This only happens when you've previously tried to run your own update server for Tiny Umbrella.

I have absolutely no clue what you just said
Do you have a Mac or a PC?
If you have a Mac, in Finder got to...
Mac/private/etc
Look for the file named "hosts" and open the file with TextEdit
The very last line should read "#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com"
If it does not, change that line to read "#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com"
It's basically the same with a PC, I just don't know were the "hosts" file is on a PC.
My iphone would not connect to Itunes and would not update saying that the iphone software update server could not be contacted. After trying EVERY single solution recommended on all these different sites I came across sometime so simple. My computer date and time was incorrect and once I changed it everything worked perfect. So frustrating that I tried everything under the sun for 4 hours and have it be something so simple to fix. But glad I got it figured out. Maybe this will save some of you a little bit of time..
