This was not the case yesterday when I tried alien and terminator for windowsupdate.com I don't thing. I also notice the dates in the serial on the official Microsoft DNS.. silly American dates.. I wonder if thats caused them any problems using dates like in a logical number format like that? I'm betting on yes. Nathan Ward On Fri, Aug 15, 2003 at 09:32:43PM +1000, Nathan Mercer wrote:
www.windowsupdate.com isn't used for anything. It used to redirect to windowsupdate.microsoft.com
If customers need to download patches they should be going to Windows Update link in their start menus which goes to windowsupdate.microsoft.com or www.windows.com
30 mins to go...

Make www.windowsupdate.com point to 127.0.0.1 so it doesn't do anything or what?
Except that it makes it a more effective DOS. Because then NOBODY can reach windowsupdate regardless - instead of just painfully slowly - or decently for whatever Akamai based reason.
Time to hold onto whatever body part you guys value - here comes the storm. Although on a side note I hope the blaster infections are lower than I think they are - because all of you have been blocking netbios / 139tcp / etc.
since this thing broke out. Right?
Should be a more interesting 24 hours then eh? :-|
