Hi,
I am using Sophos Anti-Virus Version 8.0.14C on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion OSX 10.8.3.
I am unable to download updates from the Sophos primary server. On trying to update, it gives an error message: "Could not contact primary server"
On viewing the Sophos Anti-Virus log, I see the following:
com.sophos.autoupdate: Updating catalogue information at 14:05:25 27 May 2013
com.sophos.autoupdate: Catalogue updated at 14:05:30 27 May 2013
com.sophos.autoupdate: Error: Failed to get remote version at 14:05:30 27 May 2013
com.sophos.autoupdate: Error:Could not contact primary server at 14:05 on 27 May 2013
com.sophos.autoupdate: URL is invalid
So could you please provide me the IP address of the primary server from where it downloads the updates so that I can check if there is some problem at my end which is preventing access for some reason? Could you please identify the server names and ports that are being used for the Anti-Virus update? I have tried to get the info using Wireshark on my Mac. However I am unable to locate the server IPs in the Wireshark capture and hence cannot identify which port may be getting blocked.
Looking forward to your response at the earliest please.
Best Regards
