Hi Folks,
I've been out of town for the last week. I ran the DX4WIN Data
Updater this morning on two computers and the problem seems to have
fixed itself.
I looked at the program code that is reporting:
Unable to connect to Internet.
Please check your Windows firewall.
I think the Updater may have been too aggressive in assuming that any
server error indicates a firewall problem. I'll see if I can create a
test case for the problem, because the original problem is gone. Once
I can do that, I'll tighten things up so that these kinds of temporary
problems don't block the Updater from updating other files.
