 Hey all,

At the end of the day, I can't get the current day prices to update. I
converted from Quicken 2005 to 2007 Premier hoping there was a new site the
newer program was getting the info from. But apparently not.

I ALWAYS get this message - "the server is not responding properly, please
try again later".

This has been happening to me for about 18 months now (first in Quicken
2005, now 2007). In March 2006, Quicken support staff told me their quote
site was broken and they were working on fixing it. No luck so far.

Historical quotes work fine, but I don't want to wait until the next day to
see what my investments did.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Hal

I download end of day prices for my stocks every day. The only time it
hasn't worked was last Friday evening when there was no response from the
server. I'm using Q2005. Something on your PC must be blocking the
transaction.

John,

thanks. At least now I know it's not the website. What operating system
are you using? Do you have a firewall?

You've got me thinking a lot more about this John. I'm wondering if there
is a security setting I've got in Windows that is blocking this.
Any thoughts?

I am using Windows XP PRO and the Comcast version of the
McAfee firewall. I do not have McAfee's privacy service installed.
If you have a firewall installed, see if it has a log file that would
identify when it blocks something.

John,

I too am using XP Pro. My firewall is the Windows firewall. Although the
event logging seems to be enabled, it hasn't created the log file
(pfirewall.log). I tried changing my cookie settings and that didn't do
anything. I also disabled the firewall to see what would happen. No change,
still wasn't able to get the quotes. McAfee is my virus protection
software. I turned that off too and did a quote update. No luck.

I'm, stymied.!
