| | Status Connecting for a long time I just upgraded to the new build. Prior to the moment that the new build took place, I was online with my computer. When ver. 14 popped up, it knocked it offline and is continuing to try to connect for at least 10 minutes. When I go to the website my other two computers are online. Is there new port blocking in this version, or is there still a lot of instability with the login? |

| | Re: Status Connecting for a long time Hi, A few days ago FolderShare services experienced some network issues. Please install the latest version of FolderShare (14.0.1331.0415 - https://www.foldershare.com/clientdownload.aspx) and let us know if you're still experiencing any issues. Sorry for the inconvenience.

| | Re: Status Connecting for a long time I just installed the new release that you quoted. At first attempt, contually said connecting. I logged out of the account, and attempted to log back in. It timed out twice. The old version worked without any problems at all on this network, and still does as a friend of mine still uses it. The new version works at my house well. Any help would be appreciated. "Francisco Garcia-Ascanio [MSFT]" wrote: Quote: > Hi, > > A few days ago FolderShare services experienced some network issues.

| | Re: Status Connecting for a long time I have the same problem at work. I can't connect to the server. I installed the latest version but no luck. When I take this machine home, I can sync without a problem, so it definately is a network issue. Question is - what are the network requirements? I know for a fact my company allows outbound 80/tcp and 443/tcp. What else do I need? Thanks.....

| | Re: Status Connecting for a long time Hi Warwick, Sorry to hear that you can't connect at work. Next time you're at work let FolderShare attempt to log in for a few minutes and then send me your FolderShare logs which are located at: %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\FolderShare\logs\ Email the logs to: fjgarciaa (at) hotmail (dot) com Again, sorry for the inconvenience.
