Remember though the issue isn't just with the update sites, it's with
any microsoft domain site (i.e. - www.microsoft.com,
support.microsoft.com, etc.)
Right, which is why I suggested using
*.microsoft.com
in the trusted sites.
Am I told this had been working as long
ago as three months. Odd thing is I can get to these via Firefox
(the other browser I mentioned).
There is no error in the broswer though. It ends up with a blank
screen. The address bar does change to this though...
http://sea.search.msn.com/dnserror.aspx?FORM=DNSAS&q=www.microsoft.com
Seems like a DNS issue, but as noted earlier I doubt it as I can get
there via Firefox.
Did you try my suggestion?

Hello all:
Picked up a new client running SBS2003 pre-sp1. The server cannot
access the Microsoft Update site so I went in to check this out.
Seems that the server cannot access ANY Microsoft site. It's not
DNS because I installed a non-MS browser, and can get to MS sites
via this browser. IE6 can access all other non-MS sites though.
Futher all the workstations can access the update site and all other
MS sites via their IE6 installation.
Installing IE7 is not an answer since this server is pre-SP1, and
cannot be upgraded yet to SP1.
Hope ya'll have some idea's as I am flumoxed on this one.

Add *.microsoft.com to the trusted sites, and set the security on
that zone to "low". Try again. Report back with the specific errors
you get, if any.
I don't know that IE7 would help, and I'd never install it on my
servers anyway (for as long as I can get away with that). I
personally dislike it plenty on workstations, but it also causes
issues on Exchange servers, and one shouldn't be surfing on a server
anyway other than doing admin stuff.
