Haploview cannot connect to the internet?

Question

[Sheila]

Hi, I am trying to use Haploview to look at LD blocks. I am able to install and open Haploview, however, when I try to (a) check for updates or (b) download data directly from hapmap, Haploview says it cannot connect to the internet, but I do have internet! I've looked on the Broad website but there is no mention of how to fix this issue! Does anyone have a suggestions as to how I can fix this problem?

Alternatively, if not, can anyone suggest other ways to make plots and view LD patterns?

Thanks!

are you working behind a proxy ? http://www.biostat.wustl.edu/genetics/geneticssoft/manuals/haploview/haploview_doc.pdf

Haploview can be configured to support proxy host settings using the "Proxy Settings" button on the load screen
