Unable to update to newest RA1, cannot install and related issues

[kiksonzh]

When starting the updater, after a few seconds I get the error message:

 

Update failed... Please check your connection, Anti-Virus and Firewall settings!

 

I'm very sure none of the above are the issue.

 

I tried starting the app with the not-up-to-date mode, but then I see no active games.

 

I've been playing RA1 over CNCNET for over 2 years now.

 

Afterwards I tried downloading the installer, but seems like there's either a DNS misconfiguration or the server is actually offline.

 

http://downloads.cncnet.org/RedAlert1_Online_Installer.exe

 

Chrome says "ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED", and prior to that it said "DNS_PROBE_FINISHED".

 

BTW in Chrome, the download link "Download & Play" on the page "http://cncnet.org/red-alert" is broken, however it works in Firefox.

Works for me, maybe it was only down a moment
