I'm trying to install new packages on my MiKTeX session with the following path:
Package Manager(admin) from the menu of my computer –> In the box Name
I write the name of the package, let say for example fancyhdr
–> then I click on +
–> but connect failed in tcp_connect. I always receive Failed in tcp_connect()
.
Please, could someone help me to solve this problem? I can't download any new package. It becomes impossible for me to write a document article.
Best Answer
Check if a) your MPM is allowed to connect to the internet (see your firewall/antivirus settings);
or
b) Are you connecting under a proxy? If so, you must setup the proxy through the menu Repository > Change Package Repository > select "Packages shall be installed from the internet" > Connection settings > (enter your proxy settings in the dialog box)
EDIT: the solution found in this question MikTeX 2.8 Update Error "Windows API error 87" solved the problem.
