If you are unable to login to the Curse Client, and see an error in the status bar with the message "An unknown error occurred contacting the server", please PM me an MSN or AIM ID where I can contact you.

UPDATE: Please report whether or not you have a Firewall running, or another security application.

I just finished helping one user, and in his case an app called BitDefender was preventing the Curse Client from connecting to the Internet.

UPDATE TWO: Of the three users who I worked with to resolve this, all of them were running a firewall or security application, which was blocking the Curse Client. Keep in mind that the Curse Client doesn't need a special port open to work. It uses port 80, which is the same port used by web browsers.

Hello,

Oo

sorry my statement was misleading.

i have no idea where the problem is, but i would like to give the OP any help he needs to find the issue.

I just downloaded the new update of Curse Client, But when it updates it cant connect to the internet or something. And the file that is haveing trouble is C:\DOCUME~1\Lodah\LOCALS~1\Temp\aa4f_appcompat.txt, My AIM is Lodah808.

cant log in, think the prob is the email confirmation, i clickk link and just go to home page of Curse but no confirmation of email is coming upfor account

please help me   dont know where to look now

I am getting that error as well, I am behind a firewall/proxy ... that did not stop wowmatrix from working (they use curl.exe to download by the way)

sorted mine out for some reason my firewall had decieded to block curse from using the internet so i just switched curse from block to allow now all working fine

hope this helps

a "please check you firewall" should be added to the FAQ.

this thread should be renamed into:

Please Read: If You Are Unable to Login and have already checked your firewall!

Same thing, I've turned my firewall off but it still throws the same error

OK, just solved my problem.  I had site blocking enabled on my gateway router.  For whatever reason, it was also blocking the curse client.  FVS318.

well I can't log in, I get the same message, and I'm not running a firewall. Kind of sad, I was excited about having a client for mac.
