Connections

  • If you use firewall software it can be required to respond to its prompt to grant permission when the Communicator needs to connect to the iCONCommunicator™ servers.
  • You might be running an Internet Accelerator application. These applications configure your browser and network settings with proxy configurations that are very complex in a way the iCONCommunicator is sometimes unable to understand. Try disabling the software and try again to connect to the iCONCommunicator™ servers.
  • For some very complex auto-proxy configurations, the iCONCommunicator will be unable to determine the IP address of the proxy to use. Specifying your proxy server directly in the proxy settings of your browser will solve the problem to connect to the iCONCommunicator™ servers.
  • You might not have an active connection to the Internet.
