XLobby unable to connect to internet

Postby dalanik on Fri Feb 24, 2006 8:34 am

I had this problem on one of my test PCs, that XLobby was unable to connect to the net. Explorer workes, Skype worked, AV was able to retrieve updates, etc, everything worked except XLobby.

It is a PC which uses proxy, and in IE, it was setup to use proxy server over port 8080. When I set this to "automatically detect settings", all of a sudden XLobby was able to display weather info and news....

Just thought to share it here - someone else might have the same problem eventually.

I had a very similar situation as you dalanik. It ended up going away when I bought a hardware router and stopped using a software router with proxy (Winroute Pro). My situation was that it would do an initial download of information but would never update again.

I actually submitted a bug report to which Steven found a bug. See the link for further detail.

Hope this was helpful.
