I’ve solved the network error problems:

But I'm still worried: what does "NetUpdate::Connect handshake failed" mean? Does this matter?

BTW: I'm using a proxy server (Microsoft proxy 2.0).
#2

What should I enter for option 3,4 and 5? I know 2 has to be yes…

  1. Network Timeout (seconds) ==> 60 (default)
  2. Automatically select a distributed.net keyserver? ==> no
  3. Keyserver hostname ==>
  4. Keyserver port ==>
  5. Keyserver is a personal proxy on a protected LAN? ==> yes
  6. Firewall/proxy protocol ==> HTTP
  7. Firewall hostname ==> *********
  8. Firewall port ==> *******
  9. Firewall username ==> ********
  10. Firewall password ==> ********
  11. Always use UUEncoding? ==> no
  12. Modem detection options ==> Dial-up detection mode
  13. Interfaces to watch ==>

When I try to fetch or flush work it says “handshake failed”

Not sure Gamefreak but you could try reading this to see if it applies to you.

I know it applies to me. The part “Computers behind firewalls” is my case. But the problem is that I’m not an adminstrator, I’m just a user I can’t get that damn thing to work.

here’s what I have being behind a proxy and only having port 8080

Still no success. I’ve tried the same settings you have Redneck, but still handshake failed. I’m not sure which to use for my firewall hostname. I’ve entered the proxy address there. Is that right?

At home it works fine. So I’ve allready gotten a password
