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). --STeve Andre' (Political Science) On Thursday 21 August 2003 04:06 pm, STeve Andre' wrote: > I just got a ThinkPad in today which I haven't seen in a long > time.
