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 this......

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.
 
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!?
