Very strange. Updated to 3.52 and sounds cant be sent anymore. I get a error contacting the server all day and all the time with all contacts. I can however recieve sounds. Any ideas?

The sound server seems fine now.

Whenever you want to check where the error is, check http://sounds.msgplus.net -- It'll give server status, if it's up, it's your firewall.

All I can suggest to you is pretty much what has already been suggested.

You can also try pinging the sounds server, or performing a trace route.

Start -> Run -> "cmd" -> OK.

ping sounds.msgplus.net <enter>

OR

tracert sounds.msgplus.net <enter>

If the requests time out then it is some sort of routing or access issue. With the trace route you can find exactly where the problem lies on your connection.

If you can contact the server fine via a ping/http/trace route then I'd suggest checking your firewall settings and even disable them to try again. As you say, you've just updated to a newer version of Plus!. Most firewalls differentiate between different versions of the same program (such as when the executable is modified) and will then ignore any existing rules for the program and either block it out or prompt you to create new rules.

I cant access http://sounds.msgplus.net/ at all. Gives me a Cannot find server page.

Whats happening?

Stats will be back up shortly

This is really killing me

You may want to check your HOSTS file.

It does say on the Sounds page that the "stats will be back up shortly" so you'll have to wait

It still doesn't seem to be working...any news on when it will be ready? This should be the best feature!!!
