symantec Installation manager will not run an update reason(s): -Requires an internet connection for download.
tried rebooting server but thats did not fix this. i have no problem getting to web from machine. Any ideas on what to do?
Do you have a proxy set in SIM specifically?
no proxy setting needed.
Which is why you should check there isn't one set specifically in SIM.
Check you can put the pl xml file into a web browser.
Well i log in today and all looks good. Sorry for the trouble. although to answer the last question the server can access the internet through a proxy or straight. I tried both. it seem to be able to update the software list fine in either case.
