I purchased Acrobat Export two weeks ago. I had all kinds of problems installing it, because the Adobe activation server could not be located via our domain DNS servers. When I changed the DNS settings on the machine to Compuserve’s 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4 servers, I was finally able to activate it and export documents as desired. But then I could no longer access anything on the local LAN. I switched back to the domain DNS servers, and then could no longer export documents -- Adobe checks every time you try to export something.
There’s an easy solution to problems like this: The windows hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). If I knew the URL and IP address of what Adobe is trying to communicate with when you use Adobe export I could successfully export while staying connected to my LAN. But I can’t find any help here -- Adobe only has information about REMOVING things from the hosts file, and their “limited access repair tool” simply replaces your current hosts file with the Windows default.
Does anyone happen to know the URL/IP address(es) that I’m looking for? If they haven’t been documented yet, it must be because Adobe doesn’t want anybody to know.
