AFAIK, the problem is that WindowsUpdate does not obey Internet Explorerproxy definition and tryies to connect directly (via default gatewaydefinition at local station).

My solutions:

- allow direct connections at your firewall/default_gateway to M$WindowsUpdate servers (there are many, maybe due to load sharing). I didthis, it is not nice, but it works.

- implement transparent proxy at your firewall/default_gateway.
