I had this all running sweet and happy with it until the day I got a problem in EQ2. SoE techs still responding to that, and another story.
I uninstalled EQ2 entirely in the hopes of finding a solution, so now re-setting everything from scratch and cant get the updater to work. I hit a barrier with:
"Firewall Setup
The updater (actually Java) needs to be able to access the following URL:
http://updater.pala.de:443, make sure you do not block this connection at your firewall."
Now I hold hand up and say yep, I'm a nooblette at this sort of thing, but have tried everything I can think of. I did have a problem with Java but got past that with 6.11 file emailed to me as I couldn't d/l update it.
Sooooo..what am I doing wrong now? I have even tried to paste that url in and open it with 'Internet Explorer cannot open the web page, check your internet is connected' kind of message.
" Application Error..
