Anyone know the IP address for Vista's "Game Explorer"?

Greetz all.

I have ESET Smart Security installed, and I had assigned permission for Games Explorer to contact MS's server/s. Recently I had installed VMWare to play C&C First Decade to play over LAN (IPX is no longer supported in Vista) and since VMWare installed it's own network "devices", Games Explorer no longer updates. Even after checking the box on and off (in Games Explorer) to 'Download information about installed games' it is still not updating.

....so I am trying to figure out what the IP address is for Games Explorer so I can confirm if it allowed properly, under ESET's firewall, and/or add an entry for it.

All the help is appreciated.

It gets the data from the ESRB website I think? try changing the site under Control Panel> Parental controls> Games Rating System (on left)...

There is a program to manually edit and change the game entry's vge.editor - Â Vista Game Explorer Editor but it takes some getting used to the functions and how it works.

Thanks for the feedback.

It's funny, though....I wanted to trim Vista of excess files I don't need (using vLite) and 'Parental Controls' was one of the components I removed.

Thanks for the feedback.
