Hi, Did you try to access the txt file from IE. If it works, you should try INM's SecureNet Xtra (If IE works, you have 99% chances SecureNet will work).

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and now it's not working at all. I have a project already built that uses getNetText() to retrieve an XML file from the web to update internal data. This routine runs inside an exitFrame handler that loops until everything's downloaded and parsed, and then advances to another frame. Additionally, I use getNetText to retrieve a dummy text file from the web purely to test if there is an active internet connection. This routine runs inside a stepFrame handler after the script has been added to the actorList. The problem I'm having is that the XML downloader works perfectly well and does its thing, but the dummy file check will _always_ claim there is no internet connection. Now this phenomenon has only started happening recently and only in my office - I've been using the same script since the first version of this last September and only now does it now work, yet it works perfectly well on other internet connections. My initial thought was it's some kind of proxy problem or something because we've upgraded our connectivity recently to run a few in-house web servers. Attached is the code for both, but I've removed some stuff that isn't relevant. XML DOWNLOADER -- Properties property pXML property pState, pNetID -- Events on beginSprite me me.Initialise() end on exitFrame me case pState of #loading: if netDone(pNetID) then case netError(pNetID) of 0, "OK": -- everything is fine xmlData = netTextResult(pNetID) pXML.parseString(xmlData) pState = #parsing 4146: -- no connection pState = #failed go("NoConn") otherwise -- anything else go("NoFile") end case end if end case -- loop go to the frame end -- Handlers on Initialise me -- create XML Parser pXML = new (xtra "XMLParser") pXML.ignoreWhiteSpace(TRUE) -- start to load XML from the web xmlFile = "http//www.bulldogbroadband.com/xml/dataset.xml" pNetID = getNetText(xmlFile) -- initialise pState = #loading end CONNECTIVITY CHECK -- Properties property pURL, pLoadMarker, pOKMarker, pFailMarker property pState, pResult -- Events on mouseUp me me.Initialise() end on stepFrame me case pState of #checking: if netDone(pResult) then case netError(pResult) of 4146: -- no connection go(pFailMarker) me.Destroy() otherwise -- active connection, ignore error go(pOKMarker) gotoNetPage(pURL) me.Destroy() end case end if end case end -- Handlers on Initialise me pResult = getNetText("http//www.theMmen.co.uk/test.txt") pState = #checking (the actorList).add(me) go(pLoadMarker) end on Destroy me pResult = void pState = #destroy (the actorList).deleteOne(me) end As you can see I'm pretty much doing the same thing in both to check for the existence of the online file, but the actorList version will always report there's no connection i.e. netError always returns 4146. Now to compound the problem, I've tried writing both exitFrame and stepFrame scripts in a new project to see what's going on and now nothing works! getNetText() is always returning 4146, even through the Message window. Does anybody have a clue what's going on here? Sorry for the long message, thanks in advance.
