Hi all fellow humans, and others!
A problem I recently encountered, and would like to offer a solution is that of the Android Market Place not working on WiFi. If you are having issues communicating with the market place then you are likely behind a firewall thats preventing access to port 5882.
Providing you know how to, and have access to adjust your firewall, the solution is easy. You need to allow access to and from port 5882. Important thing here is to allow BOTH TCP and UDP connections. That should do it!
Lets share here all, if you have found other issues and/or solutions, please share here!
Good Luck!

how do you enable the ports in ubuntu?... i'm a linux newbie. Thanks in advance. :)
My suggested way to enable ports on Ubuntu is to install the Uncomplicated Firewall.
Text inside the quotes should be entered in terminal without quotes.
1. At a terminal, run "sudo ufw enable" This enables it ;)
2. "sudo ufw allow 5882"
That should do it. More information can be found about the ufw at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html
