You obviously don't know that when you go to windowsupdate.microsoft.com that you are redirected to v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com which is located at 216.52.232.135... Or that you can get to the site directly with the above address instead of using one of MS's redir.dll link called "Windows Update"... -- Dan Renner President Los Angeles Computerhelp http://losangelescomputerhelp.com 818.352.8700 -----Forwarded Message----- From: Irwan Hadi <irwanhadi () phxby com> To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Subject: [Full-disclosure] windowsupdate.microsoft.com limits on how many times a computer can access it Date: 20 Nov 2003 19:13:06 -0700 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 any 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.
