Any Suggestions
DaveB:
I tried installing RP Assistant and RP Simulator last night with no luck. I tried everything that has been suggested in the other Tim's installation manual, laptop connected to router, windows firewall turned off. I found a thread on the forum about a manual download, I don't have the computer smarts to try that.
After clicking "accept terms" it goes to the RP download, the green bar does not move and after about 20 seconds a failure to load box pops up.
Probably something simple I'm missing. When it comes to computers, the basics is about it.
Thanks, Dave

Dave, what kind of internet connection do you have?
Josephbw:
Dave I've been fighting this issue for over a year. I tried everything posted and the only thing that worked somewhat was taking my notebook computer to a friends house and using his cable internet connection. I have the only thing that is available out here in the boonies, and that is satellite, hughes net in particular.
I found that a satellite connection is incompatible with Rings server. This is a known issue and needs to be fixed on Rings end. He is aware of it, but so far hasn't done anything about it. Maybe if enough of us complain, we may get him to make some corrections.
Joe >:(
DaveB:
I thought satellite may be the problem when reading about problems others were having. I will find someone who has cable to their house and give it a try. There are advantages and disadvantages on living on little back country roads.

This.
Be aware that I was unsuccessful connecting on the road as well using hotel connections.
