I have installed Vista and the install runs fine until i get to the
Activating Window part. I use the Activate online and yet it keeps giving me
authentication failed error i have in the topic. I used Nero for the ISO
burning. Any suggestion? I have tried to activate by online many times.
Should I just keep trying?

Thanx
 
The 0x800705B4 error is related to a session timeout if I remember correctly.
It occured in one of our labs when we where updating to WinXP a while back.
It seemed the rotuer we had installed in the building had a firewall
interfering with the Windowsupdate site. Check your settings to be sure.

We had the same problems when we tried to update one of our labs to XP a
while back. The firewall in the router by that side of campus was interfering
with the Windowsupdate site. Check your settings and try again when the site
isn't so busy.
 
I have set my comp on the router to DMZ hopefully that should help, but im
keeping my finger crossed. if its not working i'll make another post.
