Hello everyone
We are having a network problem with the pack installer. When using company wifi we see "OFFLINE" error. If I connect my laptop to my hotspot internet I do not have any problem. I can ask our IT to give access to certain servers(address's). Which address's should we give access to?
As Ralf already explained, the Pack Installer uses cpackget.exe also to check the online status. This command is used:
>cpackget.exe connectionE: "">www.keil.com/.../keil.vidx": remote server is offline or cannot be reached
If there is no output, cpackget has a connection to the keil.com server. If you see the error message above, there is no connection to the server. Please note that this URL can be redirected/forwarded to another location. Finally, cpackget needs access to many chip vendors, because the packs are usually hosted there. Please see for more information:

Maybe you have a mandatory proxy server in your company network. The page above explains how to tell cpackget to use the proxy server.
