When I try to update the program, I get a message that
says that I have no Internet connection. But I am 200%
sure that I am online.I have ADSL+XP
 
Ensure that Internet Explorer or Outlook Express is
working online, open IE,from the File menu, ensure
that "Work Offline is not checked.

Good luck

I think I found it. If you're running Norton Internet
Security, turn the firewall off just long enough you run
a MSAS update. At least it worked for me.

It is rather unwise and definitely not safe to turn the firewall off, even
for a short time...
Rather than that, check the firewall settings and allow MSAS processes to
access the Internet.

"How to" for "Njorton" users........ Copy and paste into IE or use

Incredible software from Symantec ?! ;)

Basic, MSAS must be within approved Internet programs.
"GIANTAntiSpywareMain.exe" must be approved.

Also if I query Symantec about "Microsoft Antispyware" I get
nothing...........
Symantec thinks they rule Windows as with SP2 ;(

Why use this bloaty software ?
 
I think I found it. The same thing happend to me. I'm
running Norton Internet Security. When I disable the
firewall, I'm able to update MSAS manually. Don't forget
to enable your firewall after you update. I hope this
helps.
 
There's advice in the product help file about what executables to tell your
third-party firewall to allow to connect outbound. I would expect that it
should be possible to configure NIS to allow for updating without manual
intervention, but I don't have an installation to test with, I'm afraid.

I had a similar experience with Zone Alarm and I was able to configure it
to allow MSAS processes which included getting updates. But it was headache
configuring all applications and components individually, so I just
uninstalled it and worked with XP SP2 Windows FireWall.

I use Zone Alarm (the freeware version) on at least few computers and never
experienced any problems with MSAS updates because of ZA.
