Unplug your machine from the internet. P8 does not need to be connected to the internet to work. It is doing it's own internal connection to it's self. There is pieces on your computer that came with your OS that P8 uses (much like a print driver or video driver) that "acts like" a mini internal webserver (trying to use laymen terms, since people might understand what a webserver does).
In the lib case P8 uses a flex server that is on your hard drive not somewhere else on the internet.
The basic problem is some win AV software is not allowing you own computer to communicate with it self.
When you look in a mirror in "Your bathroom" your image bounces back to you. It didn't use or require your neighbors mirror to see your reflection. P8 is sending a signal to a Mirror inside Your CPU, in "Your Computer" and some AV software is getting in the way of the image-signal being reflected back to you so you or in this case P8 can see the reflection-signal.
Stand in front of your mirror, in your house, in your bathroom. Now hold a piece of paper between you and the mirror. You can no longer see your reflection. Punch a hole in the paper and you can see yourself again. In some cases peoples AV software is that piece of paper between you and the mirror and is blocking the required reflection. What the solution is, is to punch a hole in that paper-your AV software so your own computer it can see its self.
