I am having the same problem - can't find internet connection. I've removed
other "networking" connections (such as vmware), hard-coded the ip values
(including the dns numbers) and still no success. The "activation" is
definitely broken at this point, as far as I'm concerned. I've even gone so
far as to go into IE and tell it explicitly that my internet is via an
always-on connection etc.

I'm having the exact same problem.

So have I.

I am just glad to see that I'm not alone here. I will stop trying to
diagnose the problem on my end until I here that you folks have been able to
register/activate your beta.

I have tried numerous times with no results. Disable your firewall and you
will get the message that the activiation server is down (something to that
effect). I have only 48 more tries left. I hope they get it activated soon.

I did get to authenticate it once in the morning, like 11am AEST (australian
time), but after an hour or two, i tried to authenticating office on my other
machines all failed on internet connection. Seems like everyone is hammering
the servers which brought it down, or maintenance. I monitored the packets
and it is getting acknowledged, but else its down.

Same here..

I'm having the exact same problem.

 

[Robert]

[Filippo]

Same here and very few launches remaining!
This could be a real pain.....I hope that MS fixes this servers issue as
soon as possible.
Cheers from Italy.

Is it just me, NO, mines the same and i'm on broadband, hopefully it will be
sorted shortly, take a number and stand at the end of the line, LOL.

 

[morpheusG]

I've got the same problem! I have very fast internet broadband, access to
internet is fine, but the same activation problem comes up! Doesn't help that
we can't report the problem to them either, so far I cannot find any support
emails or tel numbers for office 2007! Wish I was one of the lucky testers
who MANAGED to activate their products ( How long do you think it'll be
before we can activate our products? And how do we know anyone is on the case
in sorting out the problem?

 

[Michael Proctor]

I too stand in line waiting to activate, can't believe how many people are
posting about this but no comment from MS.

Well I suppose we should all be appreciative of the public beta.

 

[matt0]

What if microsoft only gave us 50 odd tries to use the product?? It is only a
BETA remember, Febuary might have been the date we have to use those 50 tries
before??
