How to unblock automatic update in firewall software?

[Guest groups.observer@googlemail.com]

Hi all,

 

it seems my firewall is blocking Windows 2000 Pro's automatic update

attempts.

Can you tell me what programs (and ports) I have to unblock to make

sure it works again?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

 

Christian

Sorry, not a solutions just a question.

What firewall are you using?

All the firewalls that I have used so far allow the automatic updates quite

happily, although some do ask for permission to allow the update software to

access The Internet.

Regards

Dave
