Can't Connect

Bonez · #1 02-23-2008, 01:06 PM

I've looked all over these forums and done everything it has said, and everytime I try to open the Auto Updater, it says can't connect, please check your proxy settings and try again. I have tried re-downloading it 100 times, disabled all firewalls, reset my router, I added that line to the hosts file, nothing works. I reformated my computer about 2 weeks ago, and I used ProfitUI before then, and everything worked fine, but since I reformatted it will not work, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I get the same message.
"Cannot connect!
Please check your network settings or try again later.
Do you want to change proxy settings?"

Java is updated and if I put the path "http://updater.pala.de:443" in a browser I get an OK message.
I turned of my windows firewall, but no luck there.

I've tried this on 2 computers (one with WinXP Pro 32 bit and the other is WinXP Pro 64 bit). I get the same result on both computers.

Any ideas?

You could maybe try looking at the optional updates from Windows update, and see if there's anything to do with updates with anything pertaining to internet explorer, or communicating with the internet.

Also try the hosts file configuration as described in the FAQ.

I tried that out but with no luck.

Strange thing is I can ping both the IP and the dns name.
You don't happen to have the source code for the updater somewhere on your website do you?
I could try to step through it and see if I find whats wrong.
