Update problems
I compared the two machine configurations and could not find any differences. Then I brought the one machine home (the one having problems) as it is a laptop. Hooked it up onto the home network, ran the updater and to my surprise it worked no problem!
The only difference is that the network I initially tried it on has a D-Link router and the home network is using a Zoom X6 DSL modem/router. It consistently fails on the D-Link network and consistently works on the Zoom.
Both networks are using NAT and have statically assigned WAN interfaces. The machine is assigned DHCP addresses on bith. Both are connected to the same ISP network.
I guess it would be worth checking what types of routers others with this problem are using.
