[Qgis-user] wms call responds with error

[Jake Maier]

I still have the problem that qgis seems not to see the internet. I can
connect to the Maine GIS server with a browser, but when I try with qgis, I
get: "host ... not found".
I have a stand along pc with windows 7 without proxy. I looked into the
preferences and there no proxies are listed. 
Is there anywhere else within qgis where I can check or change how qgis
accesses the internet?
Thanks for help
Jake

I had another problem after the installation of the ssd-drive.
The geo-referencer did not start. I checked on the internet and found the
solution in deleting a registry entry about the referencer and then it work
ok.
I also found some info on the web about my problem with the wms server, but
it was not quite the same and I could not get it to work.
I'm not sure if that helps any in finding the problem.
Thanks again looking into it.
Jake

Hi Jake,

I had no problems in requesting a GetCapabilities in my browser
http://mapserver.maine.gov/wms/mapserv.exe?MAP=c:/wms/basemap.map&SERVICE=WM
S&REQUEST=GetCapabilities&VERSION=1.3.0

What happens if you use that URL in your browser? Do you get a capabilities
document or not?
I doubt that this is a QGIS problem. Are you behind a proxy? If yes you have
to tell QGIS in Settings - network.
