Might be because I'm on a corporate-ish net at the moment however. Just get an error:<br />A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host. - connect(2) (Errno::EHOSTUNREACH)<br />C:/DOCUME~1/*username*/eee/eee.ipdl-1.10.exe.2/lib/net/http.rb:564:in `initialize'<br /><br />(where *username* had my login name)<br /><br />Presumably this means "the firewall snaffled it", which I'm unlikely to be able to get around as there's no connection settings in the thing (however it should use the browser settings, shouldn't it?). I'll give it a go from home later on instead, it'll still be in plenty of time. Cheers for the pointer anyway. Ciao... … nope, no good so far.
