I fixed it, or perhaps there was a latency issue here. I cleaned
out the cache in IE, and after about 3 reboots running wupdmgr
went to the site correctly. I was on the net since I could get
to microsoft.com; it was when I clicked on the windows update
there that I landed back at the MS dhcp site.
So the moral is to wait, I think -- or clear out IE's cache. And I
might add when you are doing that, change the default cache
size. The default is to use some percantage of your disk. I
now set the cache to 50M to keep from seeing 180K tmp
files on machines I don't see very often (yes, two people's
ThinkPads litterally had 180K files on them).
