Yes, that sounds likely. You then have problems connecting to, at a minimum,
any update site hosted at Eclipse? Check with your IT staff and see if your
organization has a proxy server to the internet...that sounds like the most
likely cause to me (and as noted, generally easy to adjust for).

Anyway, this is a good workaround. Be aware that there is a later build,
20060803 that corrects a problem that makes it difficult to build in many
instances (corrupt class file). I've also identified and fixed a couple of
NPE's in CVS, but haven't been able to make a build yet...

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. So, I'll just explain briefly about the
packagings and hope that clears up some confusion...
The 'archivedsite' zip file is just the ordinary update site packaged as a
zip. So, you can use the update manager and use the 'New Archived Site...'
button to point to it. From that point on things will work the same.
The other packaging is the product build zip - that however is a very
different animal. Basically a packaged core Eclipse/OSGi runtime with some
basic Buckminster features. This is the headless stuff - it can be extended
with features using the same underlying 'Eclipse Update Manager' API, but
has to be accessed by command line (the 'install' command). It can also use
either the real update site or the archivedsite, as needed.
Hope this answers your questions, please come back if I completely
misunderstood you :-)

You're welcome :-)
