What should the tooltypes be for Amiudate these days? All I have there now is EMAILADDRESS=client@amiupdate.net. Aren't the sites where it looks for updates suppposed to be listed in the tooltypes? Right now when I click on Amiupdate, nothing opens.
I'm having issues with Updater and Amistore too, but I'll phone Amigakit tomorrow morning to try to straighten that out.
Thanks for the ongoing help. I'm getting my new X5000 up to speed pretty well now.

edit: I'm getting a window open now. In prefs it lists 2 servers: www.amiupdate.net and update.amigaos.net. I get nothing from the first one. On the second one (?) I get a popup asking for a user name and password for "AmigaOSUpdateServer". I guessed and used my AmiSphere info and pressed on "Connect" but nothing happens. Are there any other servers? I always found this utillity handy for things like MUI updates.
I seem to remember when my A1-XE was running, I had to take out one of the servers from the list, and add another one.

Due to some conditions currently out of my control, I would suggest you remove the "wwww.amiupdate.net" server, and replace it with "amiupdate.codebench.co.uk". This should fix your public update problems.
As far as the hyperion updates go, you need to enter the same details that you would use to acccess their website to get updates manually. It's just an easier way to get the updates.

That's what I needed. Working now. Thanks, Simon.
Yeah, Updater pops up asking for my AmiSphere password and login. I enter them, hit return, and then it asks me to enter them again. I hit return, and then get a DSI. If I try to ignore the DSI, I get an ISI and need to reboot. Hopefully a phone call to Amigakit /Matthew will get that sorted out.

You know, it might confuse future readers a bit less if you made another thread dealing with the Updater/AmiSphere issues, just to keep it perfectly clear that those products have nothing to do with AmiUpdate and the Hyperion update server.

I've noticed an issue with AmiUpdate on my system.
It appears to run normally, but I spotted the post about changing the server and went in to make the change and noticed something odd.
When I open the Online Update Preferences window the "Store Archives and Updates here" field appears to be a series of non-English characters that keep scrolling by. Clicking the folder icon to try to manually select a folder doesn't do anything.
I can de-select the www.amiupdate.net server, but when I go into the tab to add the new server and click Add nothing happens. The window keeps refreshed and the Updates tab keeps refreshing which appears to be tied to the folder name scrolling issue.
Hopefully I'm properly describing this. Please let me know if you need more information.
