iPhoto Places "not connected to Internet" error

[Nugget]

I saw this mentioned in a few other threads, but I thought perhaps it deserved its own thread. Anyone else having this problem?

No matter what I do, iPhoto is convinced that I'm not connected to the Internet and refuses to do anything with Places. I recall telling iPhoto to feel free submitting my information to the net when I first ran it, but now I can't find any related settings in Preferences. Not sure what to do.

UPDATE: Aha! I was connected to my office VPN. Disconnecting from the VPN "fixed the glitch"

I use a PPPoE connection, you know if I can change something to solve the problem ... same here... "your computer is not connected...."

FB, Flickr uploads no problems, but places is not working

Thanks!

I use PPPoE connection and places doesn't work...

When you say PPoE, that mean a Verizon Card, ATT Card, or Sprint Card?

 

[fedebruni84]

no... I use PPPoE to login into my enterprise network

I use PPPoE as well, and cannot use places either. Will Apple fix this? It's quite frustrating
