Wrong settings in the ‘hosts’ file – The ‘hosts’ file contains important information about apps connecting to the Internet and it’s possible that the entry for TeamViewer got corrupted. Deleting its entry will cause Windows to re-create it so try that to resolve the problem.
Antivirus or firewall issues – If TeamViewer’s access to the Internet is prevented by the firewall or antivirus you have running, make sure you try making an exception for its main executable file.
DNS and Winsock issues – DNS addresses can be changed and Winsock can be reset. For many users, this is all it took to resolve the problem so make sure you try it out!
IPv6 connectivity – TeamViewer simply won’t work on IPv6 sometimes so make sure you consider disabling it for the sake of resolving this problem. It won’t hurt and it may bring TeamViewer back!
