Hi all,

This is an extract from the Windows Update log. I have installed SUS
locally, the SUS Server is fully synchonised, and is running.

What does this error mean? The SUS installed no worries. All PCs have had
their registry patched to point to the local WUServer as is evidenced by
line 2. Why then does the client head off to V4.WindowsUpdate... to query
the catalog?

Environment = WorkGroup, Win2K boxes, registries manually patched, no
domain, Win2K server.

Any clues, suggested fixes, etc appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
 
No.

I'm using a DSL router which also acts as the DHCP server. I could have used
"http://shop-server" as the SUS host name (which is resolved via NETBios)
but I get the same result whether by name or IP address. All PCs attempting
to use the local SUS server are hanging off the same hub.
