Vaio Update not working?

dcrudo — Fri, 28 Apr 2006 09:09:29 GMT

Dear All,

On my VGN-S5XP the vaio update software does not work...

when connected thru WiFi to the internet, it says "No connection to the internet" (??) When connected to internet thru LAN it says "Could not connect to server".

Any idea?

The internet connection has no restriction toward outside...

thank you!
Dave

I have the same problem with a VGN-FE11H.
Question: what exactly Vaio Update does? Is it indispensable?

...actually from what I understood, you use vaio update to find, donwload and install firmware and drivers update from sony directly.

Maybe their server is down... or has been taken offline...

I don't know...

Sorry, but I don’t understand what is explained there. If you could tell us again what is necessary to be done to make VAIO UPDATE work. Please.
When double-clicking Vaio update I receive an error message saying: The server could not be accessed. Please try again.
Trying again, changing my internet connection (DHCP and LAN at work), deactivating any firewall I have doesn’t help a bit.

I do not get the option to "click here to create a connection".

All I get is

"To view this page, you must be connected to the Internet. To connect to the Internet now, click Connect."

When I click connect I get the new connection wizard, which isnt what I want is it?
