I had a "similar" situation occur when I modified some network settings and although the overall connectivity of my server was fine, I could not for the life of me, get the updates to work again. Ended up I had to go into the Nod32 advanced settings console (F5) and just change some "stuck" proxy server settings (that didn't revert from the windows network changes)... It's been a while now, but I believe they were located within "Update --> then Advanced Update Setup button " and/or "Miscellaneous --> Proxy Server". Worth a look... Jason
