    I have Comcast Internet Cable connection for Internet. It is predetermined and I receive an email from a Host to attend a Webinar meeting at a certain time. A link is included so I can download GoToMeeting software. End result, when I try to download GoToMeeting software I get an error message "connection cannot be made"....Check to see if you are on the Internet or IF you have an anti virus program running.....I have Windows Home Vista and have put GoToMeeting in the "exceptions" list so it can get thru the Windows Wall.

My name is Chris and I work for Citrix Online supporting GoToMeeting and GoToWebinar. We're sorry to hear you are having trouble connecting to a GoToMeeting/Webinar session, but we have some helpful tips should you choose to try and join again:

- If you are unable to connect, exit from the GoToMeeting software completely, and then visit http://www.gotomeeting.com/wizard to download the latest connection wizard.
- Run the connection wizard on your PC, if it tells you that Good connection settings were found, then reboot your PC. If no good connections were found, please give us a call (800-263-6317)
- Once your computer reboots, try to join the meeting again.
- If you continue to have issues, please call us (800-263-6317)

I hope this proves helpful to you. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with while trying to use our products.

    Go to webinar support is a joke. They pass you around from person to person. Their software has issues with java that actually powers the whole thing. The wizard always says you have a good connection but when you try to connect, nada.

    Yeah connection wizard says all is fine, when you try and connect it just says 'verifying communications' and fails. Definitely a Java issue.

Error 12039

System error code 12039 means "The application is moving from a non-SSL to an SSL connection because of a redirect." This error code may also display as "ERROR_INTERNET_HTTP_TO_HTTPS_ON_REDIR" or as a specific value.

I have seen this question raised before on this forum- some suggested removing gotomeeting and re-installing it; others claim that if you have the "Ask" toolbar- to remove the toolbar due to conflicts; some others suggested updating your web browser while others suggested getting help support at gotomeeting.

Remove security parameters

If your computer is connected to a network or the Internet, it is advisable to use computer security tools, such as a firewall, to protect your computer from unauthorized access or viruses. Windows operating systems come with a built-in firewall, malware protection and Internet security. These settings are automatically configured to the factory's default settings when you purchase the operating system. To alter the settings for these security features, access the Windows Security utility through your system's Control Panel.

Open the "Windows Security" utility by opening your "Start" menu and selecting the "Control Panel" option on the right-hand side. Windows XP users can click on the "Security Center" link in this window. For Vista users, click on the "Security" option, and then click on "Windows Security Center." Click on the "Windows Firewall" option to change the settings for your firewall, if you are using XP. You can turn the firewall on or off, and also configure which programs are allowed through the firewall. Vista users should click on the "Windows Firewall" link in the left window pane and click on the "Change settings" link. In this window, you can block programs from passing through your firewall and grant access to new programs. Click the "Internet Options" selection to configure your Internet security settings. You can raise or lower the security level for different zones using preset configurations, or you can create a custom security level. You can also reset the Internet security level to its default settings. Click on "Automatic Updating" in the Windows Security Center to configure your system's update settings. In Vista operating systems, click on "Windows Update" and "Change Settings." You can configure your update settings to automatically check for updates daily or weekly. You can also set a convenient time for your system to update to prevent interruption. Automatic updating can be turned off by selecting the corresponding option toward the bottom of the window. Select the "Malware Protection" option to edit malware settings if you are using Vista. This option is not available in XP's version of Windows Security Center. You can turn the malware protection programs on or off using the arrow to the right of the "Malware Protection" bar. Click the "X" button to exit Windows Security Settings.

Hi, I have previously been using the GoToWebinar and for some reason when I click the link to join a session, the site freezes. I have tried to uninstall gotomeeting but now it won't download it just...

Hi, you are most likely using a Mac running OS X 10.5 in which case a recent Apple update has broken Java. Please download and install the latest version of Firefox for Mac as it is currently the only web browser which has updated to fix this issue.
Thanks,

I'm always stuck at the "connecting" screen for at

I had the exact same problem. I also have Windows 7 64bit. I tried everything. I spent forever on the phone with Citrix and nothing worked. The last suggestion was that I go out and buy a headset/mic combo that connected with a USB and that worked. If I disconnect that my speakers still don't work but at least I have something.

How to add an exception to your Windows Firewall - XP, Vista and 7

Windows Firewall protects your computer by blocking communications (i.e., bugs and malicious software) attempting to connect to your computer. Sometimes, Windows Firewall will block a program that you use from connecting to the Internet. If you are experiencing this problem, but you are still able to browse the Web (demonstrating that it's not a general problem with your Internet connection), you can add a Windows Firewall exception for the program that's having problems. This will allow you to use that program without Windows Firewall blocking it.

Setup Steps - Windows XP

  1. Click Start. Click All Programs and find the program that you want to add an exception for. Then right-click the program and click Properties.

Norton sercurity is not responding on my computer it does not start up and called my Internet provider they said norton my be blocking my Internet access by the firewall please help

You can easily disable firewalls in your computer however what I would suggest doing first is ensuring firewall is turned off for windows, If using XP: Go to Start/Control panel/Firewall and choose off Not Recommended
For Vista/Win7 Go to Start/Control Panel/System and Security/Windows Firewall/To the left hand side Turn Windows Firewall On or Off turn off.
If this does not help Here is a direct link,Just read Forum. Hope this helps http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic109836.html

GoToWebinar interfered with my USB hub connection

Hi, I work for Citrix. The only reason our GoToWebinar software would interact with your USB hub is if you have an audio headset plugged into it. Please call our toll free support if this continues http://support.gotomeeting.com

How to fix error code 646 microsoft windows vista home premium software

* The solution, in a nutshell, is to disable your firewall. If you’re using McAfee Personal Firewall Plus, F-Secure Internet Security, Norton Internet Security or another Firewall vendor, see its respective support page for assistance in disabling it (temporarily). If you’re using the built-in Vista Firewall, keep reading.

* Open the Control Panel and select Security.

* Select Turn Windows Firewall on or off.

* Select Off (not recommended), click Apply and then OK.

* Back at the Windows Update screen, click the Try again button.

* The download(s) and installation should start…

* and this time successfully install. If a restart is required, make sure to re-enable your Firewall once your PC restarts.

* Though this solution will work for most Vista Update errors

Firewalls

If you want to disables Vista’s FIREWALL then you need to go into your Windows Security Center (you can easily turn ‘off’ the firewall from there).
Click Start and click Control Panel.
Click Security and then select Windows Firewall.
Click Change Settings.
From the window that appears, click the Advanced tab.
Remove the check beside the connection that you want to disable the Windows Firewall for.
Click OK.
