(De101) is also my Key You checked a firewall, but many people are using more than one. If you have a firewall other than the Windows firewall, it's also possible the Windows firewall is active. You need to check both. Another thing you can do is open up a command prompt and type "tracert hub.byond.com". If that is able to trace its way through to a connection to the hub, then the problem is most definitely a firewall. If it isn't, the problem is either your ISP or something upstream from them. | |
Many firewalls are configured to only allow certain programs to use the Internet. Most of the ones that do so also include a hash check by default to see if the program has changed. The most common problem we see with upgrading users is that they leave this hash check on, and their firewall never bothers re-confirm the program with them, so it simply denies access to the new version. For ease of updates, we always recommend turning off this check for every program in the BYOND suite.
