I just got an incident where everytime I try to access windowsupdate.microsoft.com, I keep getting this error: http://www.microsoft.com/isapi/redir.dll?prd=ie&clcid=0x0409&pver=6.0&ar=ienews&os=N6 Service Unavailable The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later. Well, I used to be able to access windowsupdate.microsoft.com a couple hours ago with this computer, but after visiting it again and again for around 7 times, now I can't access it anymore. It seems that the windowsupdate.microsoft.com server now limits on how many times a computer can access it, because when I tried by using a different computer with different IP address, it worked just fine. Anyway, below is the IP address of windowsupdate.microsoft.com from my place (remember that windowsupdate now uses Akamai) phxby@phxby:~> host windowsupdate.microsoft.com windowsupdate.microsoft.com is an alias for windowsupdate.microsoft.nsatc.net. windowsupdate.microsoft.nsatc.net has address 207.46.134.92 windowsupdate.microsoft.nsatc.net has address 207.46.249.56 phxby@phxby:~> _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
