Question

Hello All,
We have a Windows server (2008) which is not pulling updates from WSUS server. It has two NICs - one is public and another is configured with 172.x.x.x range for Admin use (this is for WSUS communication with no DNS setup).
See logs below,

Thank you Lawrence.
I also suspect network related issue, I tried renaming software distribution folder followed by service start - however, it did not help.
Let me verify the network settings are correct and post which I will be doing steps you suggested above and post my feedback.
Thanks once again..

Thanks Lawrence!
Issue was with Proxy - we bypass it and it started working...

That'll do it every time!... :-)
Although most interesting that the proxy server did not respond with the appropriate proxy server related error.
