I get this error when I try to update to SP2 and the resolution is given
below. I currently use Symantec - Norton and havent a clue how to "Add the
following urls to the exception list " can anyone help please?????

Problem description

This error may occur if your Internet connection or configuration is
preventing access to the Windows Update site.

Resolutions
1. A misconfigured Proxy/Firewall can cause this problem. Double-check the
Proxy/Firewall settings. Add the following urls to the exception list within
your Firewall/Proxy:
http://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
https://*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
http://download.windowsupdate.com
For help configuring Proxy/Firewall refer to documentation or contact the
manufacturer
