 I am using Windows 7 32-bit OS with Windows Firewall.  I downloaded the
 TOR Bundle (for Firefox) but when I am starting the Start TOR Browser..
 the initial connection is being tried.. but after some time it is
 terminating with a message "Vidalia was unable to connect to TOR
 (Connection refused by Peer)"

 The message log shows:

 Aug 08 11:44:56.410 [Notice] Tor v0.2.1.26. This is experimental software.
 Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on Very recent version of
 Windows [major=6,minor=1]  [workstation] {personal} {terminal services,
 single user})

 looks like it's older than 0.9.8l, but some vendors have backported
 0.9.8l's renegotiation code to earlier versions, and some have backported
 the code from 0.9.8m or 0.9.8n.  I'll set both SSL3_FLAGS and SSL_OP just
 to be safe.
 Aug 08 11:45:20.328 [Notice] We now have enough directory information to
 build circuits.
 Aug 08 11:45:20.328 [Notice] Bootstrapped 80%: Connecting to the Tor

 Aug 08 11:45:24.041 [Notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks
 like client functionality is working.
 Aug 08 11:45:24.041 [Notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done.

 .. as such on error messages are evident in the message log. I have also
 included the tor.exe & tor-resolve.exe in my firewall allowable programs.

 Pls Help
