Vaio Update not working?

[dcrudo]

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!

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

I have the same problem with "My Club VAIO"

...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...

I had the same problem but fixed it. It's actually very easy. I explained the solution already in another thread go to this link:

Solution Vaio Update

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.

1. Go to help and support
2. Click on support button
3. Click on the Support option: "VAIO link"
4. Right here you should get the message that you are currently not connected to the internet. And that you should click HERE to set up one....Click on the text HERE
Network wizard starts up....NOW if you have a WIRELESS connection DO NOT pick "view wireless networks in range". Just click on next and setup your network connection depending on your connnection. Just follow the procedures.
When you are finshed VAIO UPDATE WILL WORK AGAIN, also VAIO LINK option in help and support
