| 1311838 | 2012-11-11 22:45:00 | So whose IP 's were there originally, in other words which ISP is blocking windows updates ? I'm with Telecom. |

| 1311839 | 2012-11-12 00:03:00 | There were no ips under the wireless connection. It was on auto. I left the top 1/2 on auto. And put in Google's ip addresses for the DNS server ips | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1311840 | 2012-11-12 00:06:00 | Updated successfully.Thanks again Speedy. Sweet :) QW install teamviewer then send me the ID and password it gives you to me in a PM. And I'll do what I did on Sk69's PC. We'll see if it works |

| 1311841 | 2012-11-12 00:14:00 | Nice to know how/why the DNS mod works. | linw (53) | ||
| 1311842 | 2012-11-12 00:18:00 | It sounds like an ip / DNS prob somewhere. Like something didnt get resolved. And thats what was causing WU to bring up that error. I added the 3 MS sites to IE's trusted sites as well. But, I dont thinik that did anything. Because, it brought up the same error after I had added them. WU didn't work, until I changed the DNS server ips from auto, to Google's ip addresses. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1311843 | 2012-11-12 00:47:00 | Sure is weird. My son seems to have a similar problem which he thinks is related to Office 10 updates. I have pointed him to your solution, Speedy, so will report back when he tries it. | linw (53) | ||
| 1311844 | 2012-11-12 01:01:00 | Ok I managed to fix Sk69's prob. I changed the DNS server ip's under the network connection to Google's DNS server ip's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. I did what I posted in Post #11. Just tried this and so far it is still checking for updates. No error has appeared. |

| 1311845 | 2012-11-12 01:03:00 | Good the longer it takes to check for updates, the more chance of it working. Its when it takes less than 1-2 minutes, yoiu know its going to fail with an error | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

| 1311847 | 2012-11-12 01:52:00 | Well it seems that using the google DNS settings has done the trick. I was to install 15 important updates plus 5 optional and had no problems at all. Thanks Speedy for your help. |
