The Wsus server can download the patch file already.It is the DNS Domain server problem.

It is ok, Madmatt.

I reconfigure the whole DNS server again.By the way I have few question to ask here:
1. I had find out the file size for each individual update is very big.By having 5 updates to download, it take about 300MB something.But from what I know, Windows XP SP4 patch file take about 130MB something but can update many bugs and enhancement at a same time .I would like to ask that does the update file size in WSUS is huge for each individual update? I list down the file size of some update here:
Update Size
a. Security update for Windows 2000 (KB896424) 33.39MB
b.Windows 2000 SP4 rollup 35MB
c. Security Update for Windows XP (KB896424) 59.5MB

2. Is there a way for me to know the update file size for each individual update rather than going to the home page and deduct from the total update file size to be downloaded?
