With "private" I meant standard "home-networks" I don't think it has something to do with "installed" / "just launched". As Malte said, if it would be a security problem from not being installed, it would be blocked while launching.
Standard "home-router-firewalls" and the standard windows firewall on home computers let your program connect to the internet. My experience is always additional soft- or hardware, as it typically appears in company or school networks, but also can appear in home networks. Sometimes I have customers, who have the "ultimate super dooper security suite" from Symantic, MacAfee or else installed and have no idea, how to configure those software, nore know, how to react, if the firewall asks for permissions. This is the only case in my experience, where my program gets blocked on home computers.

But, my customers are just normal folks on their home computers. Today, almost everyone has a home network, so I'm sure there is a network in play. And who knows how they have it configured? What they usually tell me is "All my other programs work just fine". Since it's only my app that was not "installed", and it launches and seems to run fine but can't "see" the internet, I figured the issue was some type of "anit-someing" software on their computer is blocking my app from reaching the internet. Does that not ring true to you? -Dan > Hi Dan, > > if the same App trying to reach the same URL is working at some customers and at some not, it is obviously a thing on the customers computer side. When I get the message "host address not found" in my App it is almost always that the customers computer is not a single "private PC", but is located in a network with either a proxy server or a special (not windows) network firewall (or sometimes an additional firewall on a private PC). Are your customer only "private" customers with "home networks"? > Tiemo _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
