vaio update thinks im not connected to internet

dubcat — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 19:27:51 GMT

Hi - I am clicking on the vaio update icon (looks like a little text box with a lightening strike next to it) and all I get back is a message saying that,

"You are currently not connected to the Internet. Please connect and try again"

I am however connected to the internet. I am able to browse the web with internet explorer with no problems. Can anyone help?

Hi dubcat and welcome to the forum.

Have you checked on Vaio-Link for a Help and Support fix/update?

Thanks for the welcome to the forum

Ok so things are working now. I created a share folder. This required me to enable a workgroup and coincidentally made changes to windows/norton firewall. I'm guessing a change to the firewall got things working from the above post.

Sheer luck on my part that it's working
