windows update hangs under vista

Hi,

I have two PCs under windows vista, connected to a router. The first
one is connected via wifi and works perfectly.

The second one is connected via ethernet, and everything works (web,
ftp, mail...) fine except windows update : it scans for new downloads
and show them, but it is not able to download them. It hangs at 0% and
I have to kill the process to end it. If I connect the same PC
directly to the modem (not using the router), everything works fine.
If I connect my old PC under windows SP2 to the router via ethernet,
it also works fine.

I don't use the router as a firewall, and I do not write any specific
rule for a PC.

Does someone have an idea ?

Stephane


PS : the router is a netgear WGT624v3 with the latest drivers.

See if this has anything to do with the issue:

Is the AV the same on both Vista systems ?

Thank's for your answer.

The AV is the same on both computer (Avira antivir) and the Trend
Micro Security Service is disabled on the router.

Please try another attempt at updating the system is experiencing the
issue. When/if it fails, open the WindowsUpdate.log, scroll all the way
to the bottom of it for the latest entries, and then post the last 50 or
so lines into your reply, trez:
