Hi Doug,

I'm not sure if some mail server hasn't mangled the url included in your mail, but the version is wrong. The below url will return a capabilities document.

http://www.mapinfo.com/miwms?SERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.1.1

The WMS urls are supposed to be case insensitive wrt. arguments, but I've met several servers that were indeed case sensitive, which I find to be non-compliance. MapInfo's server seems to belong to that category, unfortunately.

Best regards / Med venlig hilsen

Listers,

I have been unable to connect to a WMS server since the option became available in MI. I always get the following error message.

The following error was issued while attempting to access the WMS Server. The operation timed out.

(http://wwwmapinfo.com/miwmsSERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&Version=1.3.0 <http://wwwmapinfo.com/miwmsSERVICE=WMS&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&Version=1.3.0>)

Unable to retrieve capabilities from the WMS Server.

Ive looked in the registry but cant find any settings where I can change time out capabilities.

Is someone able to advise me what I need to do to rectify this problem.

Thanks
