Yeah, update hasn't been working the last few days. Luckily I'm able to get it done over dialup.
You other Hughesnet sufferers might look into Sprint or Verizon "Mobile Broadband" service. You just plug an "aircard" type USB device in and get service over cell towers. I've heard some say it is far better than Hughesnet. I think it is cheaper too.
Think I'll give it a try...

I was able to update yesterday afternoon. It took a couple tries, but it worked.
I am usally able to update over a phone modem, but if there is much data it may take a couple days. Like the poster above, when I reinstalled my TC2005 I had 11G if data. I let it run over the phone for 26 hours straight and it only got half way.
Luckily I caught a time when my regular ISP connection to Worden worked. Then I was able to update completely. Now if I update everyday, I can use the phone as a backup and it only takes about 15 minutes.

Not working again.
Maybe it only works in the morning...

I was just able to complete an update, so it is working right now.
Let's hope this is fixed. There is always something strange going on with Hughesnet. Wish I had other ISP options...
Thanks Worden Guys, for your help!

Well, I should have known it wouldn't be easy...
Here's the deal. Something must have recently changed on the TC data servers. Did timeout parameters, or spam blockers or firewall stuff change? Nothing has changed on my end. Nothing. Two different computers do the same thing. And the satellite folks tell me that the first hop on a tracert always fails (unless there is a local router, then the second hop fails). That leg is from the ground, up to the satellite then down to the op center gateway. It takes a while.
The thing is, using TC2000 with satellite Inet has worked for about 7 years now! Why is it not updating now???
Consider this:
1. All browsing seems normal and speed tests are in the normal range.
2. Connections to my broker trading workstation are fine.
3. Connections to my bank work fine.
4. Email is fine.
5. Things work fine, with or without, proxy enabled.
6. EVERY other web app I have works fine.
7. I can connect to the Worden data servers and start the Update process. Sometimes I even get a few K of data before "Internet Connection Failed".
8. Right after a failure, ping tests still work and all my Inet apps are still working.
TC2007 Update is the ONLY thing I have that doesn't work. Doesn't it seem like it is something we should fix on your end? Anybody else use Hughesnet satellite ISP? Does yours work?
Thanks again for any help.

Thanks very much for your help. Okay, now we are getting somewhere!

Yep, hop 1 didn't make it. Darn Satellite Inet is the pits, but I have no other choice where I live. I'll see what Hughes can do. If you have any other suggestions please post them.
Not much I can do about Satellite latency, but we'll see.

Starting Thursday I am having problems updating. On two different machines, one with a new install of 2007 Gold, I get partway thru an Update and I get "Internet Connection Failed".
Yet that connection works on absolutely every other program I have. And it worked well enough to download 100+MB of the latest TC2007. And it also will download some of the data, so how can it be blocked with a FW?
I can also ping dl.tcnet.ws with no errors. Doesn't seem like anything is wrong with the connection. And, yes, I have done all the restarts and reboots and Firewall configing I can do. Still, it won't work.
One thing that may be a clue, is that I am forced to use Hughesnet Satellite internet. It isn't great, but it works for everything else AND it worked fine for about 6 years with TC!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
