I decided to just start all the way over from the beginning.
Installed 2003 server again, set up Local Area Connection Properties and...
Everything worked and I updated.
I don't know what was wrong, but thanks for your time Alan and Dennis. It's
nice to see people helping others like what goes on here.

I uninstalled the IE Enhanced Security component and that did not fix the
problem either.

I CAN ping an external DNS server using its IP address. If I try to ping for
example www.yahoo.com, I receive the response "Ping request could not find
the host www.yahoo.com. Please check the name and try again.” I CAN ping a
yahoo server using its IP though.
I know it seems like a DNS problem, but the Local Area Connection (TCP\IP)
properties are configured exactly the same as my other workstations. And
that’s what has me so confused. It has to be something simple that I am
missing.
I have lowered the Internet Security settings in Internet Options but that
didn’t work.
Is there any chance that the default settings in the IE Enhanced Security
Configuration are preventing me from accessing the update site???
Thank you all so much for helping! I greatly appreciate your advice.

You need to test if you can ping an external dns server or something like
that, if you cannot, work on your network settings for external traffic.

My first simple impression is that your server's DNS isn't configured for
internet access.

I have installed 2003 Server with SP1 on a new server. I need to update
the
server before installing Active Directory, DNS, and such. However, I am
unable to "connect" to the Windows Update site. I have experience with
2000
server and I am confused as to why this has become so difficult in the
2003
server OS.
When I click on "Windows Update", I get the "This page cannot be
displayed."
window in IE followed by a pop-up that states "Microsoft Internet Explorer's
Enhanced Security Configuration is currently enabled on your server. This
enhanced level of security reduces the risk of attack from Web-based
content
that is not secure, but it may also prevent Web sites from displaying
correctly and restrict access to network resources."
In the "Help" section, it says that I need to add these sites to the
"Trusted Sites" list, but the Microsoft Update sites are already listed. I
can ping other computers on my network so I believe the Network Settings
are
correct. I just can't get out.
I am obviously missing something. What do I need to disable or change to
get
this server updated???
. any help, suggestions, and/or links are immensely appreciated!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!
