    Hi Robert,

    There might be some connectivity issue with the concerned SFM. Is SFM able to reach the Internet? Are you able to name lookup u2d.sophos.com from SFM advance shell?

    Thank you for your reply.
    I have successfully Activated, Registered, and Synchronized two XG Firewall software appliances from the same router port on my network; therefore, I conclude the SFM has connectivity.
    The message "cannot find server sophos.com" appears in the bottom of the error-message window. The complete URL begins "sophos.com/.../Registration.aspx, where xxxxxxx... is a very long string of alpha-numeric and special characters.
    I have tried pointing the SFM to various internal and external DNS servers by entering their IP addresses in the SFM's Basic Setup (eg, 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220).. I even tried one of the Root DNS servers (IP address 4.4.4.4). Nothing works.
    I'm not familiar with advance shell (nor SSH); else, I would have tried them.

    I conclude the SFM software tries to connect differently than does the XGFW software.
