Nov. 17, 2008 My text did not show on posting here above. Today I
could not get windows update to work with NIS 2008 but it did before
(I have Vista 64) . Look at Personal Firewall, Advanced Settings,
General Rules, Configure Button. I found "Block access to secure
sites" had "BLOCK"!! When I put in "ALLOW" windows update now seems
to work. I am still trying to find if I can put in normal urls in the
firewall exceptions.
