When i'm trying to get into Windows Update site it enters Google.
someone knows what can I do?



The ISP could be doing that when the host name entered
is unknown.



Here are some things I discovered at my parents' house on their wireless
network (Linksys router, cable modem):
1. two of their computers had the same problem (1 laptop, 1 desktop, both XP)
2. my XP laptop, which never had this problem, suddenly did
3. my sister came over with her Mac, and had the same problem
4. when I went home to my own wireless network (same brand/type of router),
my laptop no longer had that problem

Points 3 & 4 add an interesting dimension to the problem. Perhaps someone
can figure it out.
