I just installed .NET 2003 on XP Home (did not install IIS or SQL Server).
After the install, it says to check for updates, but when I do this I get an
error message saying theupdated failed - check your browser settings.

This also occurs from withing the .NET IDE - same message. Unfortunately it
doesn't indicate what browser settings to check.

The browser works fine for everything else - including MSDN Downloads.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
