Marietta, OH | Window's Update I just went Window's Update, well tried and all I got was a Thank you screen. It must be server trouble or do I have a problem here? Anyone else getting this? | |

we'd suddenly started having trouble with WU about a week ago, and quite a few friends have reported serious problems in the last week as well, though the form the problems take seem to differ. something is definitely not right there.

Strangely enough, I haven't experienced any problems either.

| »v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/e···ault.asp resolves to 209.247.88.180 for me but I do not think that will help you. The first link works but not it's numerical counterpart for getting to the Windows Update site.

| I had problems with WU as well earlier this week. I solved it by resolving download.windowsupdate.com to 208.172.158.234 in my hosts file (MSoft switched a lot of domains around and a lot of DNS still haven't caught up).

Bellflower, CA | If you have edited your hosts file or are using some site/domain blocking scripts/filters, look for a248.e.akamai.net and remark it out. It seems MS is using akamai to handle some services. This may resolve some user's problems.

| i don't know why this is happening but i have seen that thanku screen too and it started around the time the msblaster started attacking the internet.
I it has been appeaing here and there once in a while but usually if i go to the update site after about 2 hours - it's back to normal.
When i see that "thank you" page and look at google's cache of windowsupdate.microsoft.com, google's cache also has that "thank you" page so that's how i found out that i'm not the only one seeing this thank you page. Google did too at one point.
I would gess that they are having technical difficulties... no big deal. | |
