Help! Revolution can't connect to the internet!

[shadowslash]

Hi all, it's been a long time since I visited here... Anyway, I've got a problem 4.5.0-dp-3 seems to be having some issues with using the url() function or simply just communicating with the internet. Whenever I use url(), rev hangs up. When I check for updates, instead of showing me that there are no updates, the loading bar just keeps on going on and on. On the Start Center stack, the Forums tab and the Offers tab just keeps on loading without showing content.

At times, the internet commands in rev works (actually just yesterday it was working) but I find it that it sometimes doesn't work. Can anybody help me with this or provide a work around to it? Than you all!

NOTE:
This already happened to me not so long ago but it eventually fixed itself. I'm just afraid that this would happen to the programs I make which would then make my clients unhappy.

shadowslash,

URL isn't a function. It is a keyword. Put URL is a command.

The updater isn't indicative of the put URL command working correctly or not. To find out whether you have a problem with URL's, try the following brief script:

Code: Select all

on test
  put URL "http://www.google.com" into myTest
  put the result & cr & myTest
end test

What do you get to see in the message box?

Do you have problems with your internet browser whenever the put URL command doesn't work?

I was just trying to imply that Revolution in it's whole cannot connect to the internet.

on test
  put URL "http://www.google.com" into myTest

Nothing as revolution hangs up because, as I said it can't connect to the internet so it just keeps on trying to connect thus, making the IDE hang up..

Do you have problems with your internet browser whenever the put URL command doesn't work?

As far as I know, I can use the browser without problem as I seem to be browsing the revForums right now without lag..

shadowslash,

I think that installing a new, pristine copy of Revolution without any plug-ins and other additions is the next step. Let me know how it goes.

OMG I found out the problem! O_O

It was Google Chrome which had a proxy on! I use Firefox by default so I hardly use Google Chrome thus I didn't notice that it was proxied and pointing to India for some reason.. When I removed the proxy, everything went like clockwork! But it made me wonder, is RunRev blocked in India or something? Or why is RunRev affected by the proxy if it was only set for Google Chrome?

Hi shadowslash,

Are you using Mac or Windows? If Mac, do the Chrome proxy settings also affect Safari?

I'm using Windows and I don't have Safari, but if you're going to ask about Firefox, no it doesn't affect Firefox at all, that's why I never noticed that my proxy has been changed =/

Because Firefox maintains his own proxy settings while Chrome use the system settings.

that's why I never noticed that my proxy has been changed =/

If you did not set the proxy you should check your system with an up-to-date anti-virus!

Hmm I'm quite positive that I don't have a virus in my system.. It might just be one of the people who randomly uses my laptop.. Might be my cousin.. =/

shadowslash,

Have you checked the proxy settings for IE?
