Network policy error

[Nancy D]

When I try to access the Microsoft update for windows site
to see if there are any updates to XP available, I get an
error saying I am unable to access that site as my network
policy settings prevent it.

This is a new install which was upgraded using XP Home
upgrade version for Win 98 II
