173717 2003-09-08 00:07:00 I cant get avg to do an auto update, it complains about not being able to connect to the net.
This happens even if I have done a manual dial up.

Thanks

173718 2003-09-08 00:30:00 if you have IE installed open it first, check that avg is not blocked by a firewall and if all esle fails go to avg homepage and download the updates manually. tweak'e (174)
173719 2003-09-08 00:32:00 I've had this happen at times, try closing AVG and then try again.
This will some times wake it up. Cheers. :<)

173721 2003-09-08 01:22:00 Hi rmcb,

Try this;

The free AVG only has 1 update server choice. Here's how to
add more.
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG6\
Open the url.ini file with a text editor.

Here is the default...

[SERVER_NAME]
1=free.grisoft.cz

[SERVER_URL]
1=http://free.grisoft.cz/softw/60/fe
Actual URL=1

Here is mine...

[SERVER_NAME]
1=free.grisoft.cz
2=ftp.grisoft.com
3=www.grisoft.com

[SERVER_URL]
1=http://free.grisoft.cz/softw/60/fe
2=ftp.grisoft.com/pub/softw/60/fe/
3=http://www.grisoft.com/softw/60/fe/
Actual URL=3

The next time you cant get an update,you will have to do the same,as when you log-on to AVG,it reverts back to 1 server!

Cheers,Kiwitas,;-)
