Your post doesn't say what OS you use or if you had this problem in the past with viewer 2.

In my case nothing has worked since version 2.5 to resolve this very same issue with me. I use Windows Vista. If you try all the suggestions. Clear your DNS cache,change your DNS to something else like Google DNS etc. And none of these work on any version of viewer 2 you might have to switch to a third party viewer like Phoenix.

Try using Google Public DNS instead of whatever's being assigned via DHCP.

Are you on a Mac? This is a known issue you can solve by adding these 2 DNS addresses to your internet settings:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
