Troubleshooting

I'm getting an error message when trying to access one of the sites...
The main reason for this is that there is software on your computer that is filtering/replacing/stripping or blocking HTTP Referer information in the header of the URL. RotoPass needs to pass this login referrer information to the partner sites to authenticate a session. The main culprits that are blocking the HTTP Referers are software based firewalls and advertisement and pop-up blockers. Below are examples of software programs that are known to cause such problems. Keep in mind this is not an exhaustive list of software firewalls and ad/pop-up blockers so if you have these types of programs on your computer and they are not listed here they are mostly likely what is preventing you from gaining access to the sites. We would like to hear from you so we can add problem software programs to our lists.

Software Firewalls	Ad or Pop-up Blockers
Norton Internet Security	Ad-aware
Norton Personal Firewall	AdSubtract Pro
Windows XP (Built-in)	WebWasher
ZoneAlarm Pro	Spyware
McAfee Privacy Service	Spybot
Kerio	Spyblocker
Outpost	Guidescope
Proxomitron	Surfer Protection Program

To find out if you have these software programs installed on your computer visit your computer's Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs… you will see a list of all the programs on your computer. Please DO NOT REMOVE the programs. Just go here to find out what software programs are installed on your computer.

If you only have a software firewall it's a matter of configuring it properly to add RotoPass and the partner sites as "trusted" sites.

There are hyperlinks in the firewall list above for the software programs that have online instructions to correct this particular problem. For programs without a hyperlink you will have to refer to the owner's manual or user guide to configure them properly. Search the manuals and guides for "HTTP Referer", "Referer" and/or "Private Header Information" for the solution. Your goal is to allow, enable or permit these HTTP Referers for each of the three sites above.

If you have a software firewall and ad and/or pop-up blocker… chances are it's the firewall. Launch the firewall application and disable, or turn off the firewall protection. Go back to RotoPass and try accessing the partner site you couldn't access previously. If you can get access to the problem site then it's definitely the firewall. Go back to the firewall and enable, or turn on the firewall protection and configure it to permit HTTP Referers on each of the three sites listed above.

If you still can't get access to the problem site with the firewall turned off, or you don't have a software firewall program, it might be the ad and/or pop-up blocker on your system. Enable the firewall, if applicable, and disable the ad or pop-up blockers one by one and check RotoPass and the problem each time to isolate which program is blocking, stripping or replacing the HTTP Referer. Once you identify which program is causing the problem, refer to the owner's manual or user guide to configure it to allow these Referers to be passed in the URL header.

For you spelling bee fanatics, "Referer" is a misspelling that somehow became a codified part of the HTTP protocol… that is why it is misspelled when being referred to.

I can't find the DFS tools on FootballGuys or Rotowire…
As noted on the front page in the FootballGuys and Rotowire boxes (and on the FAQ page and on the About FootballGuys/Rotowire pages) a RotoPass subscription includes access to FootballGuys Season Long Pro subscription and to a Rotowire Season Long package. Both FootballGuys and Rotowire sell their Season Long and DFS content as separate packages. RotoPass subscribers get the same access as any other subscriber to the season long subscriptions for FootballGuys and Rotowire. Their DFS tools are available for an additional price. You can contact FootballGuys and/or Rotowire directly for more information on that. Or check out RotoPassDaily.com, coming September 2018.

I can't access the Rotowire Draft Software. Or, the Rotowire Draft Software is asking for a username and password and I'm already logged in through RotoPass. Help…
Sometimes Rotowire's Draft Software doesn't recognize RotoPass user names. It's not a big deal and an easy fix. Just click on the "forgot password" link and your specific Rotowire user name and password will be emailed to you instantly. Use that user name and password to login to Rotowire and the Rotowire Draft Software.
