            recalbox.com itself means nothing, should try with www.recalbox.com. And as your are on the forum, i guess the DNS does work

            ooops it does work for me :

                Been searching : it pings recalbox.com to say if you're connected or not. I guess we'll change that in 4.1 as this DNS is not accurate and points to nothing special. So the message NOT CONNECTED is a mistake

                    Same problem.
                    Network settings show "not connected".
                    But connection via SSH is fine.

                    Strange thing is that scraping of ROMs works and tracking with retroachievements server also work as it should. But no updates possible.

                    Yes, w-lan settings are correct, also looked in the config.
                    I can ping WWW.recalbox.com but not recalbox.com - same with firefox via laptop.

                    recalbox pings recalbox.com to check if we're "connected".

                    The "www" has to be in the address.

                    So how do we update to 4.1 if we get no connection with 4.0?

                      @DannyOcean easy pal ...

                      4.1 is not here, we are taking care of that dns thing. We'd still have a few tricks up our sleeve anyway. I'd like to say it should be solved by the weekend as we're working on it, but it does not only depend on us

                              Sorry for double post, but I wanted to let you know that there might be an easy solution to fix the "no connection" problem.

                              If your host (gandi.net ?) supports .htaccess there might be an easy solution.

                              In ISPconfig the domain has to be "RECALBOX.COM" (without www) and auto-subdomain has to be "www"

                              The A records in the DNS setting:
                              IP for www.recalbox.com is 163.172.153.70
                              IP for recalbox.com is 217.70.184.38

                              That is why the update is not working and the recalbox shows "not connected"

                              To fix the problem the IP for recalbox.com and www.recalbox.com just have to be the same.
                              Check the DNS settings and see the A record for yourself.
                              The hoster (gandi.net ?) should be able to fix it.

                              You also have to add the following code to your root .htaccess file:

                              This redirects all non-www requests to your site to the www version

                              RewriteEngine on
                              RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.
                              RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

                              The second line means: if the HTTP_HOST does not (!) start with (^) "www.", then put it in memory for the next line. The next line says: from what was captured in the previous line, match everything (.*) from beginning (^) to end ($) and save everything (inside the parenthesis) as $1. Then replace $1 with ""; plus the HTTP_HOST variable.

                              And this would redirect all www requests to your site to the non-www version
                              RewriteEngine On
                              RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^my-domain.com$ [NC]
                              RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://my-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

                              I really hope this helps, and everyone will be able to update 🙂

                              Cheers

                                I am having the exact same issue - emulationstation does not recognize it's connected because the ping to recalbox.com fails. But kodi works fine.

                                Any updates on this?

                                Thanks!!!

                                      Hey guys. I did one test here. It is somehow related to my ISP. Whenever I try to reach (ping, traceroute) recalbox.com from my home Internet connection (picture 1), the packets all get lost. But if I try to reach the same address using my 4G connection (picture 2), it works just fine.

                                      Do you guys have any idea on the cause of this strange ISP-specific behavior?

                                      Picture 1 (using my home connection):

                                      0_1482342581948_traceroute-recalbox-from-home.png

                                      Picture 2 (using my 4G connection):

                                        @fegemo I think is really some ISP problem.. because i use GVT/VIVO too.. and i get no connection, but i can connect with 4G like you.

                                        I tried today with last RecalBox (Unstable 4.1.0 build 63), same problem again..

                                            SOLUTION UNTIL IT IS FIXED UPSTREAM :
                                            edit ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and replace <string name="UpdateServer" value="recalbox.com" /> with <string name="UpdateServer" value="archive.recalbox.com" />
