Re: Window's Update
My problem seems to be with erroneous DNS information.
Can someone post the numerical IP address that v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com is located at presently??
My DNS server gives me "Unknown Hosts" as the address!  No wonder I can't reach it! |

»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.

Microsoft domains never resolve to only one IP, more like hundreds.
You really need to reach it with domain names.
Did you try windowsupdate.microsoft.com ?
Have you tried disabling the hosts file ?
Microsoft uses akamai a lot these days...
