Download validation on a unix system...?

Hi.

I have a network with a bunch of windows systems inside with no
internet access. The only devices in the network are not Microsoft
based.

How do I download things from the ms website that requrie validation?

Validate. You indeed have an internet connection if you are
attempting to "download things" from a MS web site.

Hi Carey.

The only system in my network with access to the internet is a linux
box. I don't know how I can validate it to download the updates, etc,
that I need. It has an internet connection, and I can get to the MS
download page. But because I can't validate, I can't get the software
I need to keep my windows systems up to date and to get the full
functionality I require of them (like downloading scripthost 5.6 for
win2003..)

Can you help me?

Thanks
