I was told my problem is ip config because I cant connect to the windows
update site,so I have run ipconfig but I don't understand what im looking
for.I will type down what I feel could be the fault and what is correct I
will leave out if anyone knows please let me know.

windows ip configuration

primary dns suffix = blank
node type = unknown
ip routing enabled = no
wins proxy enabled = no

local area connection

connection-specific dns suffix = blank

every thing else is correct and my connection is autoconfigure

Rick,
Ty for the help, I did what you said and I still get the same when trying
the update site.

Hi Roger,

Reinstall the update site controls. To reinstall the Windows Update site
controls, you must first remove the old controls. The following are generic
steps for all versions of Windows, so not all may apply to your system:

Remove Controls:
1. Click on Start, then Run.
2. Type in 'regsvr32 iuctl.dll /u' (without the quotes) click OK. You should
get a successful message, click OK on that as well.
3. Click on Start/search/files, choose to look in C:\
4. Type in the file name IUCTL.DLL and click Search Now. Delete every copy
of this file that you find.
5. Run the search again for the file IUENGINE.DLL. Again, delete every copy
of this file you find.
6. If there is a WUTemp directory anywhere on the system, delete the
contents.

Delete Windows Update files:
1. Double-click on My Computer.
2. Open the C drive
3. Open the Program Files folder
4. Open the Windows Update folder.
5. Delete everything in the folder except the V4 folder.
6. Next, Open the V4 folder, if it exists.
7. Delete everything in the folder except the iuhist.xml file
8. Close Window

Then revisit the WindowsUpdate site and you will be prompted to reinstall
the new V4 site controls.
