MN-740 Firmware will not update

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

I can not get the firmware to update on my MN-740 Xbox Wireless adpater.
It's running v1.3.0.5 for the boot firmware and v1.0.1.20 for the runtime
firmware. I've tried the instructions at:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/ [...] 40_102.htm

but no matter what I do it fails. Neither procedure (with and without a
wireless router, access point, or gateway) works. I've tried connecting it
to multiple computers (Windows 2000, and 2 Windows XP professionals), and in
every case the software gets to the Install Updates screen then after I hit
Next it tries to update the components, but after about 30 seconds it comes
back saying the runtime firware update failed. I've positioned the Xbox
Wireless adapter about 2 feet away from my access point.

Any ideas?
John
