***CAVEAT: Hepling a DSC member in no way confirms my potential status as a GEEK!!!*** Charlotte, try connecting to the internet through your browser (Internet Explorer or whatever your poison is) and once the connection is already established try running the liveupdate. It should detect that you have a connection and run over that.
If not, what version operating system are you running because we can have a little 'tinker' in the registry
