Running the Version ends in a Error-Message like:
"No Connection to Internet or invalid Proxyconfiguration"

Here the same!

The program tries to contact via http this IP which is down 93.170.128.253

"No Connection to Internet or invalid Proxyconfiguration"

Same here.

The program tries to contact via http this IP which is down 93.170.128.253

It seams the program uses totalcmd.net's old static IP, if the author is still around maybe using an URL is better as IP's change even static ones?
The current totalcmd IP I get is
109.237.110.23
a hex edit from 93.170.128.253 to 109.237.110.23 might be a temporary fix?

No. The case in the request data and expected data.
Total Updater send data:

Use the HOSTS file to redirect the outdated URL to the correct one e.g.

Code: Select all

109.237.110.23          93.170.128.253    # TotalUPDATER (TC plugins updater) uses static URL to access totalcmd.net which is now invalid; so redirect to correct URL

This is most probably some routing problem. If you check your DNS, you'll see that totalcmd.net resolves to both 93.170.128.253 and 109.237.110.23:

Code: Select all

C:\>nslookup totalcmd.net

Nicht autorisierte Antwort:
Name:    totalcmd.net
Addresses:  93.170.128.253, 109.237.110.23

My guess is that these IPs have different locations and one of them can't be reached due to some routing issues. You can check it using

Code: Select all

tracert 93.170.128.253
tracert 109.237.110.23

and compare the output of these two. I can reach the latter IP in 13 hops while the first one isn't finished after 24 hops.

So, there's nothing any of us can do to really solve this issue. The only workarounds: flush the DNS cache (ipconfig /flushdns) which might solve it temporarily, or redirect the IP using SQUIRE's method (but remember to reverse it when the issue is gone).

yes, flushing the dns is the fastest (and working) way.

Use the HOSTS file to redirect the outdated URL to the correct one e.g.
Code:

109.237.110.23 93.170.128.253 # TotalUPDATER (TC plugins updater) uses static URL to access totalcmd.net which is now invalid; so redirect to correct URL

I tried this - it doesn't work for me.

I added the suggested line to my C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file - is that correct procedure?

Yes, that's the correct path to HOSTS.

Flush your DNS cache and ping 109.237.110.23. If it doesn't time out then
Totalcmd.net should be reachable and Total Updater will work as normal (hopefully!).

The Russian server appears to be experiencing some DNS record problems at the moment.

Did that. No timeout, but Total Updater still doesn't work

Removed the redirection line again from C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts - flushed the DNS - AND rebooted - now I can use Total updater again

Total Commander
