CANNOT ESTABLISH A CONNECTION

When I try to run a driver setup file which acceses the internet I get :
download.microsoft.com is not set up to establish a connection on port "
world wide web service (http) with this computer.

Please help

We had a post before. It could be the 3rd party software. This is the post:

Hi
It can be few reasons including some that are beyond the OS control.
What the driver/setup is? In most cases even if the driver installation
tries to access the Internet it does not mean that can not be installed, or
manually downloaded from the OEM.
