Upon installing Webinator Free Version 2.1 we received message host timed
out. What can we do to fix this?

Well, that's a rather vague description of the problem. Without knowing
when in the install process or what host timed out I can only guess...

Basically Webinator had trouble contacting either our license server
at 198.49.22.90 or a host that you specified to walk. Make sure
that you are not behind a firewall that blocks web requests and that you
are able to reach our license server and any host you are trying to walk.

The host which timed out was the attempt to connect to your license server.
We are behind a firewall but the firewall is wide open nothing has been
blocked. On installation when it tries to connect to the license server we
receive a message 006 Host timed out Yet we are able to ping the license
server, we can even reach telnet connection with the license server and an
http connection to the license server but we can not connect for some reason
using webinator.

Sorry, I typoed the license server address. It is 198.49.220.90 . And you
won't be able to telnet to it. Make sure you are trying to get a web page
from the machine you are running webinator on, not some other workstation.
How long does it take to get the home page from 198.49.220.90 ?
