 > Windows Firewall... with TOR clearly "ALLOWED". I've even turned it off
 to try... its not set to "Public Network" or anything like that.

 > Yes - same laptop. Below is the log (at school) on my XP laptop, also
 with TOR and Outpost Firewall (off). It's a regular TOR log, the same as
 the one at home. There's nothing wrong with TOR... I have used the same
 laptop and Orbot phone at hotels, restaurants, friends' houses, etc.
 without problem. Somehow, the school is blocking it when the Chinese
 government can't.

 The Chinese government does a fine job of blocking Tor clients from
 connecting to the Tor network.

 Your problem is that ''Firefox'' cannot connect to the Tor client ''within
 your computer'', and if you want someone to help diagnose what is going
 wrong, you need to post a Tor log from the computer which has the problem,
 showing Tor's output while it is having the problem.
