Connection Faliure to Update Server

I installed the SW and voilá... fast and easy 2 use.

BUT...

When I tried to connect to Update Server, "Connection
Faliure" message appears...

since it's Beta SW...

WHAT'S HAPPENNIG?

ALL HELP WELLCOME

I've seen several folks with this issue and seen it first hand myself.

Try again in a few hours, is my suggestion.

and this might fix itself? Internet is running fine...

I've seen that myself today.

If you haven't changed configuration and the Internet connection is up, that
means you can't reach the server, I believe.

So--connectivity. Could be the server, or anything between your chair and
the server--lots of ground to cover, probably.

Maybe it is time to look at the Internet weather/traffic report sites and
see what is happening or not happening.

Don't see anything obvious. My email problem was definitely
configuration--good luck!

Full error messages help.

1) Error 0x800ccc0e, Socket Err 10061 (Outlook or Outlook Express &
Exchange)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/191687

2) Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. It provides no added
protection.

The Other E-Mail Threat: File Corruption in Outlook Express
Published: November 18, 2004

Email scanning slows down Sending and Receiving, sometimes enough that OE
times out. Since some of the received messages have large (often virus)
attachments, which exasperates the problem.
Some Comcast users have found it necessary to totally uninstall Norton and
switch to the free AVG with mail scanning off. Norton invented email
scanning and here's what they say:

"Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...8256c7500723cf0

"...your computer is protected if Auto-Protect is enabled. Auto-Protect
scans any incoming files, including email attachments, when the files are
saved to your hard drive."
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...001100907323806

"NAV provides multiple layers of protection. Email scanning is just one of
those layers. Even if you are not running Email Scanning, your computer is
protected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments by NAV
Auto-Protect. Auto-Protect will scan any incoming files, including email
attachments, as they are saved to your hard drive. To make sure that
Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep Auto-Protect enabled
and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have the most recent virus
definitions."

So Symantec used to say this often and clearly. The newer stuff doesn't
have the statement included as it was considered an embarrassment. If you
know anyone who programs for Norton try to get them to talk about it.
