Unable to contact the WatchGuard software update server.

Hi,

I know I can manually update the OS on the T40, but is there a way to fix this so you can do it through the UI? I used to get the exact same thing with the T30 we had also.

The T40 is running 12.6.1, so its not far behind current.

Thank you,

    Hi @WayneS

    The firebox uses DNS to determine what server to connect to. I'd suggest checking that your DNS servers are populated in Network -> WINS/DNS.

    If your issue persists, consider opening a support ticket so our team can sort out what might be going wrong.

  • Ah perfect, thats now working thank you. I didnt originally setup the firebox so I hadnt checked this before.

  • Thanks James,
