External Updates Have Failed

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

This is the only information given to Cumulus when it tries the WU update, so it's hard to pinpoint the problem.

2016-10-14 12:16:01.763 WU update: An error occurred while sending the request.

Some kind of problem with the connection to the internet perhaps.

Looks to me like a Firewall problem that is stopping the port connecting.

Are you running Cumulus as administrator? It needs that to be able to start the http listener, unless you use the netsh command, as mentioned in the instructions.
