Mathieu:
Your French brain is working perfectly well, dear sir! What you've done is
indeed part of the problem.
Thanks all for your input. So far I have determined the followinf because
everything as of now is OK again.
These problems have arrisen only since we moved all of our web hosting,
e-mail servers, etc. to an in-house solution. We have had a number of
teething troubles and it seems that it's had a coincidental knock-on effect
to this project (which actually went live last month - hence me stressing!).
The XML download routine checks for a file on bulldogbroadband.com and
functions fine, however the connectivity check accesses themmen.co.uk which
is now on the server next door. These teething troubles have been causing
gateway timeout errors and god knows what else over the past few months and
it's just been unfortunate that people have been using the CD while our
server's been playing up.
Trying to access the test file today as per Laurent's suggestion has
illustrated this problem as I couldn't access the file from inside or
outside the office - whatever response the server was giving was
interpretted as 4146 by netError().
I have since modified the code to use the same XML file for the connectivity
check and everything fires off beautifully.
So, in conclusion at this point, the problem's been with my server
configuration, not any code or Director problems!
Hopefully I can now calm the client down and actually get paid for the
140,000 CDs they're claiming don't work!
Thanks all.
Ross

Hey Ross,
I just did a very quick test and I don't get an error here
Here is the (quick and dirty) code I used in case it helps
--
property netID
property pDone
on beginSprite me
pDone = FALSE
end
on exitFrame me
if not pDone then
netID = getNetText("http://www.themmen.co.uk/test.txt";)
pDone = TRUE
else
if netDone(netID) then
if netError(netID) = "OK" then
put netTextResult(netID)
end if
end if
end if
go to the frame
end
--
It returns me "Internet connectivity test" as expected

Selon Ross Clutterbuck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Valentin
I've just noticed that all the colons were missing - thought I'd replaced
them after the various case statements but I guess I missed a few.
Thanks for the info on the Redline I/O Processor and it's certainly a
point
of interest, but how would that explain everything only breaking in my
office when it works perfectly well in the computer shop over the road?
Also it's the getNetText call to http://www.themmen.co.uk/test.txt that's
always returning 4146 and unless Windows 2000 Advanced Server has this
I/O
Processor on it I know I aint got it as the server's next to me!
Thanks for the info so far - any further ideas?
Ross
