The setup is in a complex WAN, where several subnet's are not using DNS, for different reasons. Where 'official' adresses, like winupdate, are needed to be statically set. External dns-queries is and shall not be possible from those clients. As pointet out last time, the clients are able to access the _main_ site, but not able to click any further. Can't come up with the exact message right now, as I'm not sitting in that networkenvironment at the time. Will post the presise message later on, perhaps monday. Will also post this on a windowsupdate newsgroup..

Hi! Anyone who knows which IP-addresses to statically set in the HOSTS-file on a win2000client, to be able to access and use windowsupdate. When it is not possible to use DNS or proxy.. Have tried these without luck: (With these, the main page is showing, but I'm getting a "Windows Update error" displayed on the site. As if there are som items on the site it can't reach/find) 207.46.134.24 windowsupdate.microsoft.com 207.46.134.92 windowsupdate.microsoft.com 64.4.23.61 windowsupdate.microsoft.com 207.46.249.157 v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com 207.46.245.126 v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com 207.46.245.190 v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com 207.46.253.156 v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com 64.4.20.93 www.download.windowsupdate.com 207.46.245.92 www.microsoft.com 207.46.250.252 www.microsoft.com 64.4.21.221 www.microsoft.com 207.46.144.188 www.microsoft.com 207.46.144.222 www.microsoft.com 207.46.156.188 www.microsoft.com 207.46.156.252 www.microsoft.com 207.46.244.188 www.microsoft.com 207.46.249.25 download.windowsupdate.com 67.72.120.62 download.windowsupdate.com 206.24.190.29 download.windowsupdate.com 206.24.190.190 download.windowsupdate.com 208.172.13.253 download.windowsupdate.com 4.79.72.30 download.windowsupdate.com 65.59.184.61 download.windowsupdate.com 65.59.184.62 download.windowsupdate.com 67.72.116.61 download.windowsupdate.com 67.72.116.62 download.windowsupdate.com 67.72.120.61 download.windowsupdate.com Cheers, Sael

Hi all! First off, thanks for making the best os image updater I've seen yet! Been trying out a few, and settled with xpcreate. This great app eased my job as admin tremendously, as well as networkperformance for newly installed clients trying to hog our intertal sus system. Did a complete makeover on our Windows 2000 PRO Norwegian (no sp's), according to the recipe on the website, as well as following some hints and updates from the forum. The result was top notch! Created a new image with SP4 first, and then used it and took on the big hotfixjob. The only patches I left out was KB834707 (IE6SP1 update) and KB873374 (Microsoft GDI+). Those two and "Microsoft Jscript 5.6", were the only ones that windowsupdate spotted after install! (Don't know what happend to the Jscript-thingy, but that don't matter). After first reboot I experienced instances on some installs with GUI-hang/explorer.exe not loading properly, but that was solved by simple logon/logoff. Attached the logfile, if anyone should be interested. Enjoy Now off to making a WindowsXP NO image as we'll be installing more and more of those in the future. Cheers, Sael XPCREATE.LOG
