This is the third time you've posted the same message. Not the way to
get people to help you.  Note that your version of Evo is several years
old and unsupported, so not everything is going to work.

Is the padlock icon (lower left corner of the main Evo windows) open or
closed. Open means Evo thinks you are disconnected. Click to go online.
Aside from that, could be a version bug.
