Internet Connectivity Issues

For Installation Instructions, please see this page.

To update its database, and to activate a licence, NEMforecast requires an active connection to the internet. NEMforecast uses Internet Explorer's (version 5 and above) proxy settings when attempting to connect to our servers. If you have an active connection to the internet, but NEMforecast is not detecting an internet connection or is having trouble (by either failing to contact the licence or update servers, or by unusually slow updating), your proxy settings may not be allowing NEMforecast to contact the update server. Here are a few simple things you can try:

• See if you can reach www.nemforecast.info and www.dataserver1.com in your version of Internet Explorer. If you cannot reach the site then you may need to check your proxy settings to ensure you are being allowed to reach these sites. If your proxy settings are correct and you still cannot reach these sites, check with your administrator that these sites have not been specifically blocked by the proxy.

• If you can reach the sites above in Internet Explorer, but are still having issues with getting updates, check if you have a firewall running. If this is the case, you may need to allow the program "NEMforecast.exe" through this firewall.
