Maybe it's caused by zone alarm? Very generic error. What port is it trying
to connect on?

Hi

Can you reach Windowsupdate ?

http://update.microsoft.com/

It´s svchost.exe service which then updates WD

A company registry setting kept me from windows update. I've removed the
registry setting and can now connect.

Thank you,
