Why can Readerware Connect to the internet?
When you run auto-catalog, auto-update or drag and drop a URL to catalog an item, Readerware first makes sure it can connect to the internet. If a connection is unavailable Readerware will display an error. You have the option of trying the operation anyway or canceling it. The most likely cause of an internet connection problem is firewall software that is blocking Readerware, preventing it from connecting to the internet. Many users run firewall software today, it is an essential part of a safe and secure internet connection. Some firewall software monitors outgoing as well as inbound connections. Readerware does not accept inbound connections but obviously does connect out. When you catalog an item Readerware connects to the web sites you specify, just like a browser. Check to make sure that your firewall is configured to let Readerware through. If you have recently upgraded Readerware, you might start seeing this message. Some firewall programs monitor the software installed on you
