temporarily-lost-connection

Hi,

since month i got always the: "temporarily-lost-connection"

error when starting the ea-app.

network is ipv4 only, static adresses

and inside fritzbox "wpad" filter set to on.

i read in the net a lot of people have problems  some get solved

when delete reinstall and or do something with the rooter.

nothing helped here until i found my solution, so i like to

provide it. maybe it helps others:

i was not able to tell my solution here:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Whenever-I-launch-the-EA-app-I-get-a-temporarily-lost-connection/td-p/11939251/page/4

so i opened a new question - if you could write it to the other post, maybe it helped people who follow that post.

go to your folder: /windows/system32/drivers/etc/

open with a text editor the file "hosts"

and insert a new line with the content:

127.0.0.1 WPAD

now the ea-app will start fine, always.

its also possible inside the fritzbox (router) set the wpad-filter to off.

but in terms of security, i do not recommend this.
