Errors
 

I've gotten this error a few times, usually if I just close out the program and restart it, there's no problems, but today it wants to be persistent. Here's what it says:

I got the same error. It was working a few weeks ago, and other then moving my computer into a new apartment, I haven't changed any settings or anything else.

Sounds like a DNS issue. Try visiting http://maps.eq2interface.com/POI_fil...afile_list.xml in IE and seeing if it shows the XML file.

Sorry to be so computer illiterate, but I'm not sure what that response means. I can click on that link and get the XML file when I use Netscape, which is my normal browser.

However, I can't get any web pages to load when I use IE. I expect that this is my problem somehow, because when I try to use the updater and get the error, I seem to get the IE "Action Canceled" error message page in the info portion of the updater.

On a related note, my EQ2 download notes now get the same error. It downloads the new updates for the day, but I can't read the notes, and just get the error screen.

I was going to uninstall IE and reinstall it, but, being the noob that I am, I can't find the uninstall link for it on my add/remove programs.

Can someone take pity on this poor fool and try to help. Thanks.

You can't uninstall/reinstall IE. But it sounds like you have spyware screwing it up. Run all sorts of anti-spyware programs, and a WinsockFix.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.

Got it working now. Somehow my IE was set up to use a proxy that didn't exist. Thank you all for your help!
