Kris Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 This is on my ISP's newsgroup, aparently from Microsoft: Hi,It appears that you are not able to connect to our download servers through your ISP's DNS server. I have a procedure that will bypass your ISP's DNS server to see if you can connect to our download servers. Go into your Dial Up Networking (double click on mycomputer and then Dial Up Networking) right click on the dial-up account you are getting these errors from and select properties. Click on the Server Types tab. Click on the TCP/IP Settings button then click on "Specify name server address" button. In the Primary DNS box enter 198.6.1.1 and in the secondary DNS enter 198.6.1.2 click OK. Try connecting to windows update and let me know the results Thank you Eric Brodish Change this back when you are done to stop future problems.

wd40 Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 To whomever doesn't know the right way to the Corporate Windows Update Site, here it is. For Windows 95, 98, Me, NT 4 and 2000 go here. For Windows XP go here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtgriffith Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Thanks wd40. I have a question. At work there are 200 of us sharing a single T1. Downloads suck. The regular windows update hangs during download most of the time. Is the corporate website going to let me download the updates without installing them so I can have them to install on other computers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlad Posted January 14, 2002 Share Posted January 14, 2002 Originally posted by Kris Uh... no... Read the numbers again. :p Try pinging those numbers, or better yet, scan the whole subnet. If that's not enough, try resolving them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
