I still think it is related to faulty dns answers from some ISPs. Would be interesting what service providers and dns you use....

service provider i use is at&t dsl (thier 3.5mb version) used to be sbc. not sure what the dns is. but what is puzzling is why the other computer using the same connection thru the same modem/router the updater worked perfectly fine? without editing the hosts file.
