Why does Bird Journal tell me no internet connection is available?
If you receive this message using the desktop app and you know there is internet on your computer, it is possible that a firewall on your computer is blocking access.
We have observed this problem with Norton internet security, specifically with the 'smart' firewall feature. Disabling the smart firewall resolves the issue, but it is recommended to add an exception for Bird Journal, rather than disabling the firewall permanently.
Other internet security packages may cause the same problem, so it is worth exploring the settings for these to see if they may be blocking internet access for Bird Journal.
