Hello,

I've installed the service pack 1 to my windows xp home
5.1, since I've done this I can't download any more
window updates . I make it through all the panels to the
download screen and then it just hangs with no error. My
norton anti virus also can't download the live updates,
it just hangs at CONNECTING to update.symantec.com and
then times out.

What is preventing my connection completion to outside
sites?

thanks.
 
Sounds like there is a firewall active.
The various update services want to inspect the
status - but can't connect to your PC...

I never used XP's internal firewall, so u have to search
the MS KnowledgeBase...
