How is this related to Windows Update?

Can we guess that your connection is dial-up or at most PPPoE?

That isn't good enough for some apps which seem to want to use
a LAN connection. Using Never dial... and making the connection
attempt the first thing after getting the link connected may be sufficient
to working around this symptom.

Also, IIRC I had this symptom when I first installed WLM a long time ago
(though I can't remember if the error code was part of my symptoms)
and the resolution was to do the install online (e.g. not try to install
a saved download). I think I also found that I had to be logged in
with a Live ID in order to do both the download and the install.


Good luck
