re: Question about 'How do I get the Windows Update feature to work?' Thursday, October 8, 2009 at 3:28 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Alan Masterman (364 messages posted) Another possibility: Open Help & Support, type 'DNS', and select option 3 'Change TCP & IP Settings'. Click on Option 1 'Open network connections'. Right-click your network connection, and select 'Properties'. Highlight 'Internet Protocol Version 4' and click on 'Properties'. In the BOTTOM half of the window, select 'Use the following DNS server addresses'. For the 'Preferred DNS Server', enter 4.2.2.2. For the 'Alternate DNS Server', enter 4.2.2.3. I don't know why this works, or who these IP addresses belong to, but this solution has been handed down through generations of forum contributors, as long as I can remember!
