V 5.6 Loader

Message says "could not communicate with server"

I have re-entered my Username and Password..
I have re-set my password and re-entered it.

Anyone any ideas, I have trawled through some of the postings, but cannot see a fix.

Thanks

Is there a firewall blocking it on your computer?

For reference there are three states:
- Could not communicate with server
- Invalid username/password
- Logged in ok
The first state means it couldn't even talk to the server (ie your case). The 2nd and 3rd are valid states from the server.

I'm guessing you're browsing this from the same device. If so, then maybe the firewall isn't allowing connections from SimSigLoader.exe.

Hi Geoff

I am using Win 10 and Comodo Firewall etc.

When I was running the SimSig exe , I allowed Comodo to run all aspects.

Should I disable the Comodo and run the exe again, or is it a setting in the Firewall.

BTW All SimSigs run from a folder in Public Documents.

Thanks

Hi Geoff

In view of your previous post, I have disabled the Firewall completely and now I have access to the server.
It appears I will need to do this every time I run SimSig.

Many thanks for your help.

Don't disable your firewall. There should be a way to allow an exception, letting SimSigLoader.exe through.

Thanks Geoff.

I had to go into the Firewall logs and remove all the previous multiple quarantined records and mark the current ones as "trusted".
After running the loader and accepting all the challenges, I finally have a fully working Firewall and SimSig.

Nightmare over !
