Trouble accessing Windows Update through Linksys router

[McBarker]

I installed a Linksys firewall/router yesterday, and I don't seem to be able
to access Windows Update while using it. I don't appear to be having
problems accessing other web sites, email accounts, etc... Just Windows
Update. IE loads a blank page, then nothing. Anyone?

Never mind... I found the solution. In case someone else is having the same
problem, I had the router firewall's Java Applet and ActiveX filters
activated. Disabling both filters cured the block.
