I am having the same issue, except I have already checked the configuration, and "Automatic detect settings" is already checked. What do you think is the problem?

I have only wireless connection and the same problem (Code 8000204E). My OS is Win7 Ultimate 64-bit, USB card is TP-Link TL-WN422G, firewall rules is right and I'm sure that is nothing block Line6 Monkey... So what is the problem?

Early I was successful activated my GX on notebook with the same OS and kind of connection (integrated wireless card Atheros) and another regular PC computer with wired Ethernet connection (OS is Win XP Professional SP3 32-bit)...

Give me some advice about retrieve this error, please.

Ok - I have solution about an error (code 8000204E) Sockets: Timed out!

Wireless connection bring an error when is trying to login Line 6 server, becouse Line 6 Monkey is dependent for MS Internet Explorer LAN preferences...

When default is proxy - then Line 6 Monkey cannot correctly login. So only what to do is change this setting on automatic configuration (go to IE-->Tools-->Internet options-->Connections-->Lan preferences-->uncheck 'Proxy server' and check 'Automatic detect settings'). Thats all...

In the case, it's working.

Anyway thanks for looking through my problem and helping me out here.

Hello,

I've run into this error before on my own laptop. One thing that resolved it was turning off my wireless card while I was connected via ethernet.

Can you try this and let me know if it works? Thanks.

@Miller

Yes, i have tried connecting to the Line 6 servers through both wireless and ethernet connection but the result were still the same.

@Andy

No, I'm not using any USB hubs to connect my pod to my laptop. I'm connecting them directly from the laptop's own USB ports. I even tried all of them.

Although Line 6 Monkey and Pod Farm 2 was not able to detect my device, fortunately Gearbox detects it just fine. I can see all the presets i've set in my X3 live perfectly on my laptop screen. Anyway, i have also tried experimenting with other laptops i have, which runs Windows XP. I still could not connect to the Line 6 servers for update but was able to get Monkey detecting my device. I have also run a test on other pc i have which runs Windows 7 and they were all showing the same problems as my Windows 7 laptop. The way things are leads me to conclude that its sort of a OS problem here that prevents Monkey from detecting my device.

Another thing i find different between Windows 7 and XP were, on 7 i didn't see any other choice but PodXT alone as the device to connect to line 6 Monkey, whereas on XP, i was given a long choice of line 6 devices to choose from.

Hi,

I've been using my X3 live for about a year now, I had it plug into my dekstop computer that was running Windows XP and everything was well, no problem what so ever.

Till recently, i bought a laptop running Windows 7, and after installing Line 6 Monkey ver 1.33, i couldn't connect to the Line 6 web server for update. I can login with my account just fine, just that it would not update.

I check over some solutions regarding the problem and had done the following:

1. Disable all anti virus programs

2. Disable all pop up blocker from Firefox and Internet Explorer

3. Turning off firewall

4. Running Line 6 monkey with right clicking "run as administrator"

5. Trying both wireless and lan cable connection

6. Reinstalling Line 6 Monkey

7. Rebooting after installation

After trying all sorts of method, i still get the same problem. I don't know if this has anything to do with the new OS Windows 7 because i absolutely had no problems with my desktop running Windows XP before. Besides this, Line 6 Monkey is also not recognizing my X3 live. I had it plug in to my laptop via USB, trying all the USB slots available but no luck. I already have the latest 4.0.2.7 drivers for Windows 7 installed.

My laptop specs are as the following incase you're wondering

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

Processor: Intel Core i5 m520 @ 2.4Ghz

RAM: 4 GB

I will be grateful to get any sorts of suggestion or solution to my problem. Thanks!
