My firewall or your server? error 113

Hi,

My name is Khala and I am part of a Creative Cloud team membership. When I try to update/install to the latest Adobe apps, I receive the error code 113 - can't connect to Adobe servers which then prompts me to check my internet connectivity and firewall settings.

Here are some insights on my situation:

  1. My background is in graphic design
  2. My computer is a macOS High Sierra - if this makes a difference
  3. I work at a small non-profit - my team consists of 3 people
  4. Our tech dept. has two people - they have Mac-phobia

Now that you know this, the type of help I'm looking for is someone to walk me through what I need to do. I've looked at similar Adobe forums and have had my tech team review the firewall settings, and both are just a little bit over my head.

*Things I have tried

Shut down and restart

Test internet connectivity

Download application updater
Check firewall settings

*Observations and Notes

When I click to update/install one of the apps, the percentage has ranged from a low of %2 and a high of %47 before a download error appears.

Before the latest October 2017 update, I use to get the error code 201 which also was about connectivity I believe.

*Theories

Are the two somehow related, and what is the process of getting them fixed?

Thank you for time for taking the time to help me with this request, and I look forward to working with you soon.

Sincerely,
Khala

Hi Khala,

You can try and connect your computer to a different network, possibly an open network , may be from your phone by creating a hotspot.

That will clarify if the issue is within the network or with the application.

Hi Bani,

Thank you for your help. It turns out there was a problem with the IP address which was blocking any updates to my computer. It is now resolved and I was able to download the latest updates.

Sincerely,
Khala
