The last few times i tried to run software update, i get the following message:


A networking error has occurred: zero byte resource (-1014). Make sure you can connect to the Internet, then try again.


I am able to connect to the internet, so i',m at a loss as to whats happening. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I had the identical problem resolved for me by Apple Support. Apparently if you are connecting via a router, you can get conflicts with AirPort Extreme, which is itself a router (this is what they told me, don't flame me if it doesn't make sense).

The solution was as follows:

Hard-drive>Admin>Utilities>AirPort Admin Utility>Configure (enter password)>Show All Settings>Network>(uncheck Distribute IP Addresses box)>Update.

Worked for me -- give it a try.

there was a problem with this a while back for telewest broadband customers. I had to change my DSN number to get it working again.

I am having this problem...Can't find any solution...I don't have Airport, so anyone have a clue? This is REALLY ticking me off. I have 2 Macs connected to this router, both running Panther, both able to access internet, email, etc. GOSH, what is THE problem!?
