Windows update is blank...

[Brian Gotjunk]

along with a few other web sites.

Automatic update works, but when I click on Windows update I get a blank IE
screen with 'Done' in the bottom left corner.

I get the same result on MSN when I click on 'Sign In' to go to Hotmail.
Excite is the same - a blank screen. Some websites work though.

I deleted my HOSTS file and re-installed a good one.

Has anybody come across this problem and what did you do to fix it?

Brian,

This sounds like an MTU issue.
