My guess is that your proxy settings are messed up. Choose Preferences from the Customize menu, click on the Firewall tab, and set the Proxy Type pop-up to "None". Can you connect then? If not, could you post the contents of the Fetch Transcript window?
Thanks,

That did the trick - thanks!
It had been reset (not sure how) to one of the other options, and showed a Proxy Host setting of:
t"Yàø?Ó†
Any idea how that could happen? Should that setting be deleted as well?
Thanks again for your help.

I've seen a few other cases of that as well; I'm not sure what the cause is. That information may come from Internet Config, and it may be that some bug is corrupting the Internet Config database.
I would recommend clearing out the Proxy Host field.
Thanks,

I have been using Fetch 4.0.3 since I upgraded to OS X last year, with no problems at all. I just tried to use it this afternoon, for the first time since upgrading to 10.3.2.
I have tried a number of different servers and all give me a Host Not Found error. These are all servers that I know to be active, so something is clearly amiss.
Any ideas what could be at the root of this error?
Thanks,
John Lawless
