I'm on a different computer this morning than the one I was using last night (I'm at work; direct connect to Internet; no network).  Windows XP Pro on both.

I can't install mpnews5.  When I do the download and try to run the installation file, I get the following two messages:

First, I get a pop-up that says:

Setup is downloading additional files to your computer.
File: dotnetfix.exe[1 of  2]
Connecting to: 207.138.82.80

Then, I get a pop-up alert that says:

File download.
Error sending request.
A connection with the server could not be established.
