hi guys, i'm curious to know this after installing b7100 ...

I noticed that i can't download anything from adobe.com domain. This includes Adobe Reader and its patches ...

eg. http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/read...11_all_incr.msp

however, if the download is under macromedia.com domain, download works.

eg. http://download.macromedia.com/pub/firewor...01_patch_EN.exe

Accessing adobe.com and its pages are ok ...

i guess this is a system-wide issue as i can't download anything under adobe.com using IE, Opera, FF, Chrome ...

There's no firewall, no block under hosts file, etc.. purely plain Win7 b7100 RC system ...

Any ideas to troubleshoot/resolve this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Was this a "clean" install or an upgrade? Is the the official RD from MS?

Are you using firefox by chance?

I noticed the other day when i went to adobe.com, tried to downlaod the Flash player and it re-directed me to some page that had no download links on it.

I clicked on the links you provided in IE 8 and they begain to immediately download.

You can check http://www.filehippo.com for stand-alone versions

fresh install, official RC ...

i noticed this quirk since yesterday evening (it's morning now) ...

u can download the first link (AdbeRdrUpd911_all_incr.msp)?

Works here as well from 7100 x86 or x64, both IE8 and FF3 on these two VMs.

u can download the first link (AdbeRdrUpd911_all_incr.msp)?

Yes, no problem at all

Are you using 32-bit or 64-bit?

Actually I prefer this program instead of Acrobat Reader:

No bloatware like adobe and with more features.

ok thanks guys ... something is very weird at my side then .... even my office laptop (XP SP3/IE/FF/Opera/Chrome) also can't download ... this laptop was downloading the Adobe REader updates in the office (working fine) .. but connect thru my home broadband, it's all 'blocked/inaccessible'.

so this eliminates OS-specific issues, but more of ISP (?) or modem (?)??

ISP or DNS, depending on the failure.

Are you trying to plug different computers directly in your cable modem (without a router) by any chance?

Because a lot of ISPs configure them to only give an IP address to only 1 computer (it remembers the MAC address). If so, you could try to "ipconfig /release" on the computer you're disconnecting before you connect the other. if that works, then a router is your fix.

i'm using ADSL modem ... my local isp provides dynamic IP addressing for gneral population/package, so there's no static IP involved ...

No bloatware like adobe and with more features.

Except the forced install of a toolbar.
