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. 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. for my reference: http://search.cpan.org/~rse/lcwa-1.0.0/lib/lwp/lib/HTTP/Status.pm -- Jim Reisert AD1C, <[email protected]>, http://www.ad1c.us ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ DX4WIN mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
