[updating] could not contact server

Hello,

I am having an updating problem. The message says 'could not contact server'. I see there are many posts on this issue, but I was unable to make use of the existing posts, partly because I don't understand them. So I decided to post my own. My OS is Windows 7 Enterprise (64bit), and Sophos Endpoint Security and Control is version 9.5. I paste a log from the application below. Thank you for your help.

  • Jak,

    Thank you for replying. 

    There is no folder named *Logs* inside of  *C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate *

    I tried to find it in other folders, but I could not find it... In the configure option of the control panel of Endpoint, it saysLog file location: C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Sophos Anti-Virus\logs\SAV.txt   ---- but there is no such folder (i.e., ProgramData) in C:\ either...

    I also do not know about (http://140.112.8.164/webinst/CIDs/S000/SAVSCFXP ). This was automatically set by the installation. I think many computers (this is under a university lisence) are set up in the same way. 

    Thank you for your help.
