The above error shows in my updater window?!

Have restarted my computer.

Have reset my router.

Any ideas? (Thanks!)

OK, Guys... I figured it out  I now have internet activity in spades!

I have the same problem. How do you solve it? Or anybody can help me out? Thanks!

Is it only that the Updater raises the message?  Can you surf the web else without problems?  If it's just the Updater, simply ignore the message.

Else copy & paste the complete plain text output of the following diagnostic commands here:

   nslookup -type=txt debug.opendns.com.

   nslookup whoami.akamai.net.

   ipconfig /all             (works with Windows only)

I have the same problem with the OpenDNS Updater v2.2.1 where the IP Address is empty and there is a message that reads "Looks like there's no internet connectivity."

I discovered that the problem is caused by a VPN connection that I have with my work. When I disconnect from my VPN, the OpenDNS Updater v2.2.1 display's my correct public IP Address and the "Looks like there's no internet connectivity." message goes away. The VPN client that I am using is Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client Version 4.9.00086.

FYI - These are the nslookup results I get:

When connected to my VPN:

nslookup myip.opendns.com
Server: server.myworkdomain.de
Address: 192.168.1.100
Name: myip.opendns.com 

When NOT connected to my VPN:

nslookup myip.opendns.com
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.10.6.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: myip.opendns.com
Address: 64.1.39.17

Notice that when I am connected to the VPN, a Public IP Address is not defined. This is probably the reason why I get the "Looks like there's no internet connectivity." message.

I suppose the only workaround at this point is that I will have to remember to periodically click the "Update now" button (on the OpenDNS Updater interface) when I am not connected to my VPN.
