Cannot contact server - can anyone help?

I have just intsalled Sophos on two of my computers and neither of them can update due to the dreaded, cannot contatc server. Was wondering if anyone can help.

Basically, it cannot find the source for the updated packages as shown by the log file below.

I have the address specified as Sophos which from previous posts I believe is correct.

Thanks for any assistance in advance.

  • Just another quick update. I just noticed this post: /search?q= 27993

    It seems to state I should have a config folder with 6 files in it under: C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate

    This is completely missing. I do not know if this is the root of the problem.

    I also should have said I am on Windows 7 and version 10.
