By entering the above URL into a browser i find that it redirects me to a Sun StarOffice web page ........ eventually. But not an update download site. > > The main site is up at 11:56 am Eastern time / 8:56 am Pacific time > > I don't have any problem connecting to openoffice.org.

AFAIK the update tool just advises when updates are available. I disable it on all installs and use the announce mailing list anyway. I don't want individual employees downloading multiple copies of OO.o, one for each box when i can install over the network from one copy anyway. Neither do i install every version, every second or third generally suffices, and usually the sub-versions X.X.1 which have bug fixes in them. I would try again, see if it still looks for the same server. Then raise a bug report. -- Michael All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well - Julian of Norwich 1342 - 1416 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
