ok crap. I just rebooted and there is still a dns error. I tried the link in the start menu and just windowsupdate.microsoft.com -- both have dns errors.
okay, try clearing all temp items, cookies, and everything else, restart your computer, and if still not working i suggest you wait cause your ISP might be updating it's DNS servers.
I was in chat with microsoft support for a few hours with no solution. I deleted cookies, temp internet files, download program files, ActiveX controls -- pretty much two hours worth of trial and error. We even did system file checker to completely rebuild windows update. I deleted my installation of Download Accelerator. Windows Update still doesn't load. I have to call back tomorrow for the special "Windows Update Techs." Anybody have an answer? Thanks.
Since it is easier to remember names than numbers, we implemented names. But, computers require numbers to communicate. Thus, DNS translates those names back to the original numbers.
To update DNS means that the DNS tables have been cleared. Thus, when you lookup a name, it has to go out and find the address. This process removes old entries and replaces them with new or updated ones.
Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
