Windows Update

[mike]

When I try to access Windows Updates I get the following
message:

"Access Denied


Network policy settings prevent you from using Windows
Update to download and install updates on your computer.

If you believe you have received this message in error,
please check with your system administrator."

I have followed the advice which is available from the
Windows site including that which is available from third
party "help" sites but I keep getting the same message.

I have installed SP1.
Can anyone help me with this problem please.
