Re: Problem Updating to WDSCi 5.1.2.5

Hi Kirk,

I suspect that the firewall or proxy server is either blocking the request 
from WDSc or doing something to it.  I know this has come up on the 
mailing list before so maybe someone can provide more insight.  Did you 
have any proxy server configured in IE?

Do you have firewall software installed on your PC?  You might want to 
check with your IT folks to see if they might have some insight.

Yes, we do run a firewall here, but I don't know any details about what 
does or does not get blocked.
