New in FMPA 11: Either the host is not available...

[mweiss]

Hey all. Just got my hands, finally, on FMPA11. First time I tried to connect to a remotely-hosted file, I got the dreaded "The file <> could not be opened. Either the host is not available, or the file is not available on that host."

Just to double-check, I tried again using FMPA10. Worked fine. Also under FMPA9. So it's clearly an issue with my new install, not with the host computer.

I seem to recall vaguely having a similar issue back when FMPA10 came out -- something about a bug in the installer -- for which the workaround was to temporarily change my computer's date to be before some specific date, then install the software and updates, then set the date to current. Does anybody remember this? Is the same bug present in the FMPA11 installer?

Looks like it's documented here for the last version:

and here for the newer version:

Seems kind of weird that this wouldn't be fixed, doesn't it?
