| Problem Description:
| Internet Timeout
| 
| Resolutions:
| This issue can be resolved by enabling "Use HTTP 1.1 
| through proxy connections" in
| Internet Options.   
| To enable "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections"  
| 1. Open Internet Explorer, click "Tools," and then 
| click "Internet Options." 
| 2. Click "Advanced." 
| 3. Click the "Use HTTP 1.1" check box. 
| 4. Click the "Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections" 
| check box.    
| 5. Attempt to access the Windows Update site again.
| 
| You may need to add the following URLs to your proxy 
| exception list: 
| 
| With wildcards:
| *.Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
| *.Windowsupdate.com
| 
| Specific URLs:
| Windowsupdate.microsoft.com
