Windows - XP Service Pack 1 has server not reachable

Try to rebuild the PC of a disk of XP with Service Pack 1 only systems

Instructions involve Service Pack 1a is required

I have download the stub successfully, but when I try to run it, he tries to contact a USA based microsoft Server and fails.

As a result, I can't add any other service packs until 1a is applied.

The server is down or is there a problem with the heel?

If your installation to service pack 1, you don't need service pack 1a.  The difference between sp1 and sp1a was the removal of the last of the "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine", Microsoft had to do as part of a legal settlement with Sun.  It makes no difference what the installation of sp2/sp3.

Turn on the Windows Firewall and make sure you have an active up-to-date anti-virus application.

If you have XP sp1, you can go directly to sp3 (you need not sp1a or sp2).  However, see the tips of long date MS MVP PA Bear (which assumes that your "XP systems disk" does NOT test any software particularly any trial Norton or McAfee software):

HOW to get WinXP SP1 or SP2 fully patched after a "clean install":

1. download & save the installer for WinXP SP3 on your desktop:

[Yes, you can jump SP2 if you run WinXP SP1.]

2. read & take into account:

3 connected as long as administrator, if necessary, double-click the saved file to install WinXP SP3.  Follow the prompts. Be patient and restart twice when the installation ends.

4. make the resolution method 2 here (believe me):

5. go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . Install all required software, and then click CONTINUE. Select CUSTOM and scan | Install the critical updates of security offered. Still, follow all the instructions.

[I do NOT recommend install IE7 through Windows Update.]

6. make sure that automatic updates is enabled; FC.
