I cannot update either windows defender or just general windows updates. Even somtimes my antivirus (kaspersky 2009) turns itself off and i cant turn it back on without restarting my laptop. Im running vista. I need help with this badly, its been happening over a month now. Anybody have any ideas? Because I cant figure it out
Well, if the explanation of that code is right in that it means it's basically a "host not found" error, all you can do is try again. How long has this been going on?
Well, it's possible your machine might be infected with something that is blocking the Vista update. What security software do you have installed and when is the last time you scanned your system?
I'm finding a LOT of comments on this error code online, most of which are dated December 2008 and earlier. Most involve ISA, Windows Server, or a proxy server.
I presume you can access the Internet ok. Are you using a proxy server of some kind? Can you check your Internet connection settings to see if a proxy server is configured? Is your computer connected directly to a DSL or cable modem or to a hardware router or is it connecting through another computer, using an ISA server or something?
No im using no proxy at all. My connection is wireless. What is ISA? This seems to be a big problem because everything I have tried will not work, I even tried a system restore and everytime I done it(for different dates) it said it was unsuccessful?
