You may need to set-up some environment variables to deal with connecting through a proxy. You can find more information here.	[reply]

I've got the same probem. i could install DBD-ODBC by downloading the files: DBD-ODBC.ppd DBD-ODBC-1.13.tar.gz and editing the <CODEBASE HREF> in the ppd-file (its a xml-file) finally executing: "ppm install <path>\DBD-ODBC.ppd" Unpacking DBD-ODBC-1.13...done Generating HTML for DBD-ODBC-1.13...done Updating files in site area...done 8 files installed and it works	[reply]

I was receiving the same problem. Tried using Telnet to port 80 and figured that my system was blocking access to port 80 except for browser. I disabled 'on access scan' of my antivirus and was successful in connecting.	[reply]
