Now go to your firewall software and remove Camfrog from the allowed applications list. Reinstall Camfrog and when your firewall asks you if it may access the Internet, press 'Yes'. Unfortunately some firewall software does not work correctly, so when you upgrade to a new version of Camfrog, the firewall software doesn't realize this is the same program, so you must delete it and re-add it to the list. If you still cannot logon to Camfrog and you have no firewall software installed, then there is probably a temporary network problem with your service provider, or a temporary problem with our server.
