Automatic Updates in Windows 2000

If I have a PC directly connected to the internet then the Automatic Update function in W2000 works fine. However if I take the sane PC and attaching it via a LAN (through Win/NT V4 Server & Proxy Server V2) then the 'Auto' Feature never seems to work.

I suspect its because of the way Auto Update does its job.

Does anyone have ideas on this please?

1 & 2 are not an Issue, these are already set correctly. I dont beleive there are any policies in existance, so I dont think that could be the issue either.

You know thinking about it ScenicTech, you might be (indirectly) on to something. I have found several technet articles that talk about Auto Updates, howveer, and this I think is significant, they all refer to 'Software Update Services' and perhaps more importantly none of teh articles mentions Windows/NT V4 Server. it may be that there is a problem using this..... The serach continues.

I think ScenicTEch and I should split the points.  We both had good things to say.  Thanks!
