Will someone please confirm by checking their firewall log that
the following link goes to either 63.215.x.x or 81.52.x.x

http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

63.0.0.0 - 63.255.255.255 -- Level 3 Communications, Inc.

81.0.0.0 - 81.255.255.255 -- RIPE Network Coordination Centre

For what purpose? Level 3 is a backbone provider/fiber company (which is the
address range that shows up when I ping v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com).
RIPE is a European Internet registry and allocation provider. Microsoft is
just using other companies to help share the server load.
