I'd been having problems like others in the group with Windows Update
failing. I tried everything suggested. I finally thought to renew my IP
address as a "what the heck" solution and that failed! A quick search in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base turned up

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;810606

This fixed my renew problem and my Windows Update problem. Hope it helps
others because this had been driving me NUTs for the past couple of months!

Alex,

Thanks for posting this. However, the article states that ALL firewalls
should be disabled and doing so *may* make the system vulnerable until
the TCP/IP network protocol is reset and the firewall activated.
Therefore, the steps in the article should be done with the system
DISCONNECTED from it's internet connection **FIRST**. Too bad the KB
article doesn't state that.
