Re: Problems with PPM under ActivePerl 5.8.4.810

I think the clue may be in one word (token) in your post--SP2.

Did you allow--which probably means: "not specifically disable"--SP2 to install the MS firewall thing?

If so, then it seems likely that this probably silently preventing PPM from making a connection out to the internet.

What you do about it? Sorry, but I have no idea.

Thanks for replying, BrowserUk. The Windows firewall is definitely disabled. Not that it should matter for local queries, though.	[reply]
