Well I couldn't get to Windows update because Internet security on IE was set to high. I added *://*.microsoft.com to the trusted sites which fixed Windows Update but TS activation still gets the same result. looks like I am calling the clearinghouse. *sigh* -Matt
Well...I may be right off topic here, but from experience these sorts of issues are seen when the MTU and/or MSS size are not set correctly on the Internet router. Are you using DSL? Can you do a Windows Update from that server? Standard http traffic would be okay, but https/ssl traffic can be an issue if the MTU & MSS are not set low enough.
But then again, maybe the site is just down :)
Cheers.

Please respond to thin
My internet connection is fine (I can get to microsoft.com from IE on the same server). Any one else having an issue with this?
