 * I’m running 2 networks of sites and experincing 2 problems which may or may not
   be related
 * (1) on both networks the network update fails catastrophically on the first site
   the Update Network attempts with the error message
 * > “Warning! Problem updating [http://firstsite.example.org](http://firstsite.example.org).
   > Your server may not be able to connect to sites running on it. Error message:
   > _couldn’t connect to host_”
 * – the hosting provider offers BuddyPress (I have no interest in running that)
   as one of their one click installs – so the hosting setup is capable of running
   multisite.
    I believe any updates required run automatically when you visit the
   dashboard of each site – there are less than 6 at present each in both networks,
   so that is not too painful.
 * Every thing else seems to be running OK except for the problem below.
 * (2) on one network the number of sites and users are both zero on the ‘~/wp-admin/
   network/index.php’
    – this I guess is just a missing database table – if so, 
   which ?

 * BuddyPress does not require multisite and has not since 1.2.
 * Go visit the site it stops at. Can you visit it?

 * yep, just hit the admin area of each..

 * So do you not have any extra sites or users on that network?

 * on both networks registration is disabled, i.e. I setup the users rather than
   them being able to do it themselves, and only allow certain users to the subdomains.
 * I can visit all sites on both networks, some of the subdomains require users 
   to be logged in to see the content, others only for selected content.
 * first network it tells me I have 4 sites and 14 users.
    second network tells 
   me I have 0 sites and 0 users when I actually have 5 sites and 17 users.
