Help! Can't use Updater to install new Kitchen!?

[BigDMogul]

Guys,

I'm trying to follow Tiermann's instructions to install the new 5067 kitchen. I've downloaded the BuildOS installer, but keep getting a server error message when trying to run the Updater. When I try to run the BuildOS program without the Updater, the login screen gives me another error message (even though I'm using the correct login info). I've already downloaded No2Chem's 5067 kitchen, but obviously can't run it without BuildOS.

I'm currently running DCD's 3.1.2 kitchen based on Sprint 3.49 and the 3.39 radio, but already feel the need to upgrade!

Is there currently a problem with the PPC servers, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Best regards,

Lars

Make sure you are registered on PPCKitchen.org's website to use for a login. If still having problems:

Running a third party firewall other than windows, try disabling it.

If you are using a router, try setting a DMZ for the IP of your computer. Unless someone might know what ports are needed for Buildos.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried disabling all security & firewalls and plugged the laptop directly into the cable modem instead of using my wireless router; however, I still couldn't run Updater. It just tells me "Error - Can't connect to the server".

Anybody else out there have the same problem, or another solution?

TIA,

Lars

Find me in Chat, please. If you can't use chat, send me a PM.

Generally, if you are having trouble w/ Updater you have proxy/firewall troubles. Can you get to www.ppckitchen.org? If so, the server is up , and your problem is your proxy configuration.

Following our PM exchange, I tried opening MSIE instead of Firefox (my default); sure enough, that did the trick! I guess Updater and BuildOS just needed to have IE running in the background.

So, I'm now running a new 5067 Kitchen on my Titan, and liking it so far!

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards,

Lars

How can I configure the proxy settings on BuildOS, not Updater.

You can't. Try running IE first (configurred so it works), then running BuildOS...
