Windows Update Will Not Run

[Patrick Brennan]

I have a dial up account which is unavoidable a most of
the site I work at due to location. I have just perfomred
a clean install of W2K Server. I have connected to the
net whith the dial up account and can browse 60% of the
net. I cannot seem to get Windows Updates to Run. When I
select Windows Updates I can Web page not found. Cannot
Find DNS Server. Cannot get into IBM.COM or EventID.com
examples. The same DNS server not found. I have tried on
3 different OS's. WinPro, Win2K and W2K Server. Any
suggestions would be appreciates.

PS The proper drivers for the modems are installed. I am
connecting at a blazing 56K

Thanks For Any Insight

Try manually changing your DNS server address to 4.2.2.2 and see if that
helps.
