Groove unable to contact provisioning server

[AG]

Hi - I keep on getting this message - and it doesn't allow me to send/receive
messages. Or list myself. Any solutions?

Be sure you can get to the following URL
http://blugro1gms.groove.microsoft.com/gms.dll and that you get a “Server is
alive†response. Groove will typically use the proxy information in your IE
configuration. Depending on your situation you may need to account for
Groove in your proxy or local network security settings. This is especially
true if you use a 3rd part security client like Symantec or Zonelabs.

Assuming that you are using the public Groove infrastructure and not
something that has been set up by your enterprise, verify that you can get to
http://blugro1gms.groove.microsoft.com/gms.dll with a browser. If you can
get to it with a browser you should also verify that other network clients
can get to it. Try telnet.

telnet blugro1gms.groove.microsoft.com 80
then type “foo†and hit return. You should get error output like this:

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Thu, 08 Mar 2007 15:47:18 GMT
Connection: close
Content-Length: 35

<h1>Bad Request (Invalid Verb)</h1>

Connection to host lost.

If you do not get this output then you should look at your network security,
DNS or local client firewall software.

There is a post here stating that if you use NOD then you will have this
problem.
Try shutting it down and see the magic happen.
