Network timeout when syncing one of my realms

Well copy your Master.realm file to the other computer and see if you can sync from there

Have you tried giving Realm Works administrative privileges?

Do you mean opening it as an Administrator?

[Viking2054]

you can right click the shortcut to launch RW and select 'run as administrator' from the menu just to see if that works. If it does work, then you can later right click on the shortcut again and go down to the 'properties' selection on the popup window and find the check box to 'run as administrator' to make it automatically run as an administrator. You need to click on the compatibility tab of the properties window to set that though.

One additional note or concern: Running a program as administrator should be done with caution. Personally, I trust LWD to not put anything dangerous in their programs. But having said that, there are companies out there I would never trust and allow their programs to run on my computer with such elevated privileges. The 'run as administrator' option gives the program being run the ability to do things to your computer it normally wouldn't be able to do, even if you have administrator privileges on your login account.

Do you happen to have host based firewall or something branded as “internet protection” that might try to filter outbound connections?

Windows a firewall is stateful and allows all outbound connections (by default) and allows inbound that are in response to ones initiated from your computer, but some products try to impress you for money and do outbound filtering as well.

Ok, I tried compressing the DB and then clicked "Sync All". Same error.

Started with Administrator rights - same error.

I don't have a personal firewall and as I mentioned the error only happens with one of my five realms.

BTW: I've been a Microsoft Trainer and Consultant for over 20 years now, so I've checked all the basics of the OS.

If you haven't done so already, I'd submit a ticket with LWD and also put a backup copy of your master realm file on some cloud storage you may have, giving LWD a link to your master realm. Something may have gone wrong during a software upgrade that caused an issue with that one realm. If that is the case then LWD may need to fix it on their end.

Opened a ticket on 9th. Haven't heard from Support since then...

I'd try resubmitting a ticket. I know they've had problems with their problem reporting system in the past. Make sure you give them as much info as possible and put a copy of your master.realm on one of the cloud services like box.com and provide LWD with a link to it in the ticket.

Also, please remember that they are probably working very hard on their two major projects. The content market and hero lab online. It is also the last week before Christmas now, and people do end up using some of their time doing last minute (or hour) shopping. Of course some of us that like to procrastinate cut it to the second.
