Updating XP via linksys wireless router

[Jeffery]

I have a question for you that maybe you could help me
out with. Last night I set my computers up for a home
net. I got the linksys wireless-G system and have cable
internet. My main computer - that has always been on the
net - I pluged into the plug on the back of the linksys
router - so it's not wireless. My OTHER computer - my
kid's - has never been on the internet - it is now - just
fine..... but here's my problem - I can surf the web, I
can chat in yahoo and msn messenger - etc - I can go to
sites and download files just fine - BUT - like I said -
it has NEVER been on the web - it WILL NOT let me update
XP at all no matter how hard I try - and thier lists of
things - doesn't give me ANY information - cause it
doesn't give me any reason other than "Failed to download,
go back and try again"......

I was thinking it was the computer - BUT - I came to my
main computer - went to thier sites where you could
download the files to self install - figuring I'd burn
them to disc or something - my main computer won't
download them at all either - same "Failed to download, go
back and try again"........

What is wrong with this wireless router that microsoft XP
isn't liking?

It can go to Windowsupdate and scan the computer? You can pick what you want
to install just won't install? Try this I ripped it from an old thread

Goto the Services menu, then disable startup of the service, and then reboot

Once you reboot, goto the command prompt and type the ren %
systemroot%\system32\catroot2 oldcatroot2

After you do that, go back to the Services menu and then set the startup
options of the service back to automatic, and then hit the Start button to
restart the service

You should now be able to install the critical update.
