Can't Connect

[nadarak]

I downloaded the updater on 3/11/08 at 1020am EST and I get the can not connect to server , change proxy settings. IS your server down or am I doing something wrong?

Server is fine, so it's on your end (firewall, router, etc., maybe you need to use the hosts file workaround as explained in the FAQ).

Hi there.

I just wanted to say that after a litle slacking I downloaded version 1.12 and it works fine now for me.

Thanks for the fix

I am still having problems getting the server to connect. You guys have always been good so Im sure we can figure it out.,, I dont have alot of knowledge in this stuff but I did follow the instructions.

I did the host walkaround using the wordpad and verified the host address was in the host file

I checked the firewall and even added it to allow access

I deleted all profit files and even uninstalled the whole eq2 folder and reinstalled it from scratch..

I have the latest java from the link on your website and I copied the address and I get the "It works" display

I have the latest .net downloaded from mircrosoft

I downloaded your downloader and placed it in its zipped form in my eq2 folder and unzipped it..When I did that it gave me a icon for ui updater and manual install. I hit the updater icon and it gave me the default location..c: programs folder/profitupdater and I hit next. it places a bunch of folders and gives me your desktop square icon. I try to connect and it gives me the cannot connect do you want to change your proxy settings.

Is this correct or did I do something wrong? and what else can I try?

Does the error pop up right after you start the updater or does it take around 10 seconds or so for it to show up?

[nadarak]

after I first install it it takes a few seconds but once I get the error its just about automatic

Try deleting the files in %Appdata%\ProfitUI Reborn Downloader and start it again.
