Unable to connect to POI-Sync server

[brimar]

Hope someone can help. I have just installed POI-Edit and I am not able to connect to the above server. I get an error message "Cannot retrieve proxy settings. Probably these are set to Auto detect or Auto Config. You can set proxy settings from the Online/proxy settings menu". I have tried manual detect and that takes me to the "select website" box and I get a similar error message and then a further box appears asking me to enter user name and password. I have read the postings on the other pages re this problem but it has not helped. I am using NTL Cable Broadband and web browser is Opera with Windows XP Home. (Internet Explorer 6 will not let me download anything!!)

Thanks

Brian

Follow the troubleshooting instructions here. This should get you up and running. You will need to get Internet Explorer working though.

Having had the same problems as brimar I'd just like to say 'Thanks Dave' for sorting my problem out.

Thanks for the repost of the address. I get a message saying 'Pocket GPS : Your requested page was not found' if I click on the new link or the original.

Regards, Chris.
