Can't get Internet download upgrades for AVG , Bazookia, e..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I have a Gateway desktop connected with ethernet cable to
Mn-700 and DSL modem. All works fine. Ia have a Toshiba
Sattalite with an MN-720 card and all works - file
shareing, email, internet web pages, etc. When I try to
update AVG 6.0 or Bazooka I get:
"error updating the database, CInternetException*e:
Error connecting or downloading data from
http://...............
System error message: A connection with the server could
not be established
Could not update the database: Please chech the following:
1. Are you connected to the internet?
2. Maybe it was a temporary error. Please try later"

Of course I was connected and many tries later the error
did not seem temporary.
