Hi to all I'm Carmelo (Lello) and I'm working on Bm29 in ESRF. Recently I have updated IFEFFIT to version 1.2.8 a computer in the beamline (OS winXP profesional edition), but I unfortunatly noticed that the applications didn't start. Makinig some test and looking the previus posted newsmail I concluded that this behavior is probably due to the firewall of ESRF. In order to obtain a more susessfull help from the computter service, anyone could explein me wich is exacly the problem Here below there is the runner.exe.log Traceback (most recent call last): File "runner.py", line 753, in ? File "runner.py", line 184, in __init__ File "runner.py", line 275, in LookForUpdates File "runner.py", line 299, in read_web_version File "urllib.pyc", line 76, in urlopen File "urllib.pyc", line 181, in open File "urllib.pyc", line 297, in open_http File "httplib.pyc", line 712, in endheaders File "httplib.pyc", line 597, in _send_output File "httplib.pyc", line 564, in send File "httplib.pyc", line 538, in connect File "timeoutsocket.pyc", line 237, in connect timeoutsocket.Timeout: Attempted connect to ('164.54.160.111', 80) timed out.
