AccountRight - Payroll connection error

Since I updated to the latest version of MYOB AccountRight last week, I keep having problems when I access Payroll. I receive "cannot connect" error message and have to restart MYOB.

 

All other modules seem to work okay.  Does anyone else encounter this problem?  Downloaded the error log but can make head nor tail of it, but it seems related to an issue with the Payroll module.

      I tried several things, but ultimately the fulshing of the DNS seemed to do the trick.  Thank you for your assistance.
