Title: Norton Antivirus not updating on workstations.
Post by: D-OveRMinD on September 12, 2004, 07:27:02 PM

I have been using SME 6.0 for about a year now and this is my first major issue.  The SME server is handling DNS, DHCP, e-mail, website hosting and the like.  There is no antivirus or spam filtering installed.  It is a vanilla 6.0 box with no patches as of yet.

The issue is that all of the clients behind the e-smith box are not able to get updates from Symantec.  Norton Antivirus used to automatically pull down updates when they were released.  Now I can't even manually run Live Update.  I can plug the PC directly to my modem and it updates fine.  I can take a PC to another office and it will update just fine.  The only constant seems to be the Mitel server.  

I have searched the forums already for issues relating to this and the closest I could find was the issue of Windows XP not activating properly through SME.  Any help would be appreciated.  If you need any additional info, tell me what you need.  I don't know all the ins and outs of linux so be gentle...  :-)

Have you installed any new modules of late ?

I have some problems with autoupdates that use port 80, because squid will want todo an authentication first.

Nope, no new modules loaded in quite some time.  I thought maybe the machine is having a problem using my ISP's DNS servers or that it is not resolving Symantec's update sites properly.  How can I point my SME server at a ROOT DNS manually?  Maybe that will solve my problem...or at least narrow it down a bit.
