Mary,
Thank you, you lead me down the right path about the firewall. Our firewall is managed by another company.
After the tech opened port 21 outbound for the server only and now my updates started going. While I was talking to him I also had him open port 123 for the server also.
I was talking to the tech and apparently wget uses ftp, even though the link says http.
I appreciate everyone's help I spent a lot of time on this one.
