Martyn is correct. In addition if you just look at http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/faq/tetrac.htm you will see that it discusses how to use that program; it doesn't offer the code for download.

Godfrey. I had a similar problem because our network was using a proxy server that Stata wasn't aware of details. I got the proxy server details from our Network Administrator and enetered them in the following location Edit>Preferences>General Preferences>Internet. Here i selected the check box use "Use HTTP Proxy" and enter the HTTP Proxy Host and HTTP Proxy Port.


Hope this helps.
