ixion Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Im a bit confused. If your PC has a default gateway set that will allow it to access the internet, then it will be able to query a DNS server, why cant you use DNS?If you really cant use DNS, my only suggestion would be to monitor netstat (start - run - cmd - netstat) during a windows update and see what hosts its communicating with
sael Posted November 6, 2004 Author Posted November 6, 2004 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..
