: : : : When I try to retrieve quotes from Yahoo (or check on server status) from version 5.1.326 I get error message “1101.” The last successful quote update was 11/19/04. The IE setting for “work offline” is not checked.

: : : Hi rkv,

: : : The error message looks like it may be missing a digit? Was it 11001?
: : : Has anything changed on your computer since you last did a retrieve? Can you
: : : check your settings under "Options / Internet Settings..." to make sure
: : : everything is okay? Are you using a proxy server? Can you access the
: : : internet okay from other applications, like your web browser?

: : : Thanks,

: : You are correct, the two error messages were:
: : Error 11001 returned from [gethostbyname]
: : WSAE: 11001

: : And, indeed, I had installed Norton Internet Security 2005 after the last successful quote retrieve. I disabled NIS, and then FM worked fine. Now, can you give me an idea where to go and what to change in NIS to stop blocking FM?

: Hi rkv,

: I don't use NIS, so can't give you specifics, but usually these firewall
: type programs have the option to add programs to the list of approved
: applications that can access the internet. Somewhere in NIS, you should
: be able to tell it that it is okay for Fund Manager to access the internet.

: Thanks,
