I load about 3 to 5 systems a day (windows XP Home and Pro) and all of a sudden I can't download windows updates. I have had no problems for the last year and a half over this connection, and up until now no problems.
To start,
I have tried xp pro and home as well as vista
I have used different install disks
These are all completely legal and activated systems.
I have tried different routers and modems (cable)
I don't know if my IP is blacklisted or what.
I'm looking for outside ideas (A fresh look) of why I'm unable to update my machines.
As always in advance Thank you.

I have created some install disks that have the updates built in, but I am really searching for an explanation to my problem not a work around. Thanks to your help I found a solution to a problem I am currently having (didn't think to look there).
We now want to try a new router and cable hook-up, giving us a new mac address and IP.
Sill any Ideas are appriciated.!!

It would probably be the mac address of the cable / dsl modem that you would need to change.
you have slipstream disk?

I think its the mac too. But why would microsoft blacklist it?
Is there a way to change your mac manualy?

Your going down a dark path. Yes, you can change your mac address, however, it will probably be someone elses mac address (spoof).
microsoft, i do not believe, would blacklist ip address unless it was getting hammered (example. zombie DDOS).
You said it your self "the only thing that changed"....

Ya I figured so.... about the mac address that is.
As a computer retailer would updating hundreds of PCs over the last 2 years at this location be "hammering" them?.....Couldn't be, otherwise hundreds of businesses would be experiencing the same problems,.. Right?
