I have just installed Stata 8. I can't get it to connect to the Internet,
e.g. update commands won't work, I just get timeouts. I know this problem
has come up before but the solutions suggested before are not working for
me. I'll note that
* I do not use a proxy server
* Stata 7 is still installed and it connects to the Internet fine. I
checked, and version 7 has the same internet prefs as v. 8, i.e. neither
uses proxy servers
* I downloaded and manually installed the latest executable (8.2) and ado
files. Still no go
* OS is windows XP
* Another machine on the same network has Stata 8 and it has no problems
getting Stata to access the internet
* I uninstalled and reinstalled Stata 8. Still no go.
This is quite puzzling. I'm guessing it reflects some sort of difference
in the configurations of the machines, but I have no idea what to zero in
on. Thanks for any ideas. RW
