Problem creating with Snow Leopard

I get a dialogue box that states I’m either not connected to the internet or that the ATV is out of date. Neither of these is correct. The only option available is to select OK which then exits the program.
Suggestions?
thanks

Do you have any firewall software like Little Snitch on the computer? Or maybe you might have OS X’s firewall turned on, go to System Preferences > Security > Firewall and see if it is on. I was able to create the patch in SL fine on my machine. You could also try re-downloading the file from Fire Core and see if that helps.

Downloaded another copy and all went well.
