As far as I know there isn't any configuration on Google Earth for the user. I have it installed, it works, just be installing it.

That said, yours isn't working. Have got a firewall blocking it? Are you in a location where you need to configure a proxy to reach the server?

Try to ping the server, and see what happens, it works from here....

It looks like DNS is not resolving the IP address.

Try to ping the IP address.

Have you had any problems getting to any other web sites?
