Posted October 6, 200816 yr Hi There, had same problem with updates even not using any domain servers. But following 5 easy steps worked for me. Step 1: IE (internet Explorer) > tools > Internet Options Step 2: Then click "Connections" Tab then click on "Lan settings" Button Step 3: remove check box for " Use automatice configuration script " where you may also have somekind of localhost address with proxy thing in text box. Step 4: Select check box for " Automaticaly detect setting " Step 5: Click ok. That's all then try to update windows. I did all this and Every thing seems cool sgain now. Thanks.
